cordova-plugin-file (added by default) is skipped on android due to cordova-android dependency

I have noticed when building my Meteor app, that there is a warning about skipping the cordova-plugin-file in Android build due to unmatching depdendency cordova-android >= 12.0.0 introduced in cordova-plugin-file@8.0.0 literally in this commit: apache/cordova-plugin-file@1aaca40

Installing "cordova-plugin-file" for android -
Plugin doesn't support this project's cordova-android version. cordova-android: 10.1.2, failed version requirement: >=12.0.0
Skipping 'cordova-plugin-file' for android

However, I did not even install this plugin anywhere. I also checked all of my cordova plugins and their dependencies, it's in none of them. I eventually found out it's Meteor that adds this plugin by default (why?), and probably does it without any specific version constraint so it tries to install the latest version available.

Apparently I made a mistake and judged it's meteor that added this plugin, but in fact it's https://github.com/silkimen/cordova-plugin-advanced-http which has

  <dependency id="cordova-plugin-file" version=">=2.0.0"/>

Anyway, It's weird that it carelessly installs the newest version available which matches this pattern without actually checking for compatibility. I guess it's the plugin maintainer who should fix this?

@LeonardoRafaelDev it is still open so I think it still needs fixing. What do you have in mind?
