Feature Element : IF CLI is used to build applications, the plugin command to be used for enabling device APIs. This does not modify the top level config.xml. Due to this reason, the fearture element does not apply to the work flow. IF an application work directly in an SDK and using platform specific config.xml, developer need to use feature tag to enable device level APIs and external plugins.
When CLI is used to build applications, it sometimes becomes necessary to specify preferences or other elements specific to a particular platform.
