@TachyonVortex solution seems to be the best option but was crashing down in my case. The issue was caused by an empty NSMainNibFile field that is not right converted by the plist NPM package. In the .plist file

    NSMainNibFile
    
    NSMainNibFile~ipad
    

is converted to:

    NSMainNibFile
    NSMainNibFile~ipad

I fixed it with by adding to the script:

    obj.NSMainNibFile = '';
    obj['NSMainNibFile~ipad'] = '';

The script finally looks like (scripts/my-hook.js):

var fs    = require('fs');     // nodejs.org/api/fs.html
var plist = require('plist');  // www.npmjs.com/package/plist

var FILEPATH = 'platforms/ios/***/***-Info.plist';

module.exports = function (context) {

    var xml = fs.readFileSync(FILEPATH, 'utf8');
    var obj = plist.parse(xml);

    obj.GDLibraryMode = 'GDEnterpriseSimulation';
    obj.NSMainNibFile = '';
    obj['NSMainNibFile~ipad'] = '';

    xml = plist.build(obj);
    fs.writeFileSync(FILEPATH, xml, { encoding: 'utf8' });

};

and config.xml:
