I have an issue when trying to update any plugin in cordova using mac os terminal. When I try to run the command cordova plugin add xxxxxxx it is telling me that both my android/ios are not valid cordova platforms.
My Node version is v9.2.0, NPM version is 5.5.1 and Cordova version is 7.1.0. I'm at a loss on how to proceed. Can anyone give some insight?

Update Cordova CLI, cordova Then compare the returned version number to the output of npm info cordova version (You can also check manually for the newest available version on npm or GitHub). Run cordova -v again after the update to make sure the update worked and it now returns the current version.
Cordova-Android requires the Android SDK, which can be installed on either macOS, Linux, or Windows.
The cordova plugin add command requires you to specify the repository for the plugin code. Please note that when you follow the Web Project Dev workflow and use the CLI, the CLI will take care of adding the plugin code to the appropriate place for each platform.
In my experience, the following resolves almost all cordova plugin/platform issues:
cordova plugins --save
cordova platforms --save
rm -rf platforms
rm -rf plugins
cordova prepare
