[FEATURE] Custom location for GoogleService-Info.plist

[zdm]

Hi,
I need to store all files, related to the ios platform, in resources/ios subdirectory.
So, I added file copy instruction to config.xml

<resource-file src="resources/ios/GoogleService-Info.plist" />

But it conflicts with the default firebasex behavior.
When I run cordova build ios it dies with error about conflicting resources.

Is it possible to respect user customized settings and apply defaults only if there is no user configuration defined?

Thank you.

Attempting to detect if GoogleService-Info.plist has been deployed via another source is non-trivial since the execution order of plugin hook scripts is non-deterministic.
I can see no reason why you should need to reference GoogleService-Info.plist directly from the config.xml: if you place it in the project root directory, this plugin will deploy it to the iOS platform project.

It is good practice, when file in the project are placed in directories with the logical sense.
GoogleService-Info.plist is related only to ios platform and should be placed near other ios resources.
Maybe you can add option where we can specify GoogleService-Info.plist location?
If this is not very hard.
Thank you,

OK, this can be added as a feature request but it is not high on my priority list however I will consider accepting a PR which implements it for both the Android and iOS platforms.

By the way, google-services.json works for me without conflicts when it is located in resources/android/google-services.json.

I created PR, that closes this issue. Could you please review it?
