Environment Provide version numbers for the following components (information can be retrieved by running tns info in your project folder or by inspecting the package.json of the project):

  • CLI: 8.1.2
  • Cross-platform modules: 8.1.3
  • Android Runtime: N/A
  • iOS Runtime: 8.1.0
  • XCode Version: 12.4
  • Plugin(s): N/A

Describe the bug As discussed in #8772, and the suggested solution of using build.xcconfig, I'm still facing the issue while using plugin-seed repo to develop a plugin that requires the minimum target iOS version to be 11.

To Reproduce

  1. Clone plugin-seed template repo.
  2. Create directory apps/demo-angular/App_Resources/iOS.
  3. Create file build.xcconfig in previous directory.
  4. Add IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 11.0
  5. Build workspace.
  6. Open xcode.
  7. Find minimum target version is still at 9.0

Expected behavior Find minimum target version to change to 11.0
