Starting with a fresh ionic install and then adding plugins, they are not added to the ios folder. I tried ionic prepare which results in add to body class: platform-ios but it does not add the plugins to the ios directory and results in this error:

The only way I've found to make it work is to completely delete the ios build folder and do cordova platform add ios which will readd it with the plugins. This seems very inconvenient.
