I experienced this problem when working in an Xcode project that somehow didn't build properly with the needed Cordova files. While the existing Cordova plugins are working, installing new ones does not.

My example is for the InAppBrowser plugin.

What I did:

1. Created a new cordova project with cordova create .
2. Install the needed plugins in that directory with cordova plugin add https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-inappbrowser.git
3. Go to the plugins folder in that root directory and copy the plugin folders to the plugin folder of your Xcode project. (e.g org.apache.cordova.PLUGIN_NAME)
4. In the plugin specific folder (inside plugins directory) copy the source files to the Plugins folder inside Xcode (just drag and drop them in and copy to the targets you need)
5. Be sure to make the necessary changes to your config.xml file (the plugin documentation should tell you)
6. Rebuild and run - plugin should be working fine

Hope this helps!
