Cordova build results in error on iOS after installing org.apache.cordova.network-information

Question

Hi I just started with a fresh structure for a cordova project and I needed to install this plugin org.apache.cordova.network-information.

I am using cordova 3.5.0.

After installing it and running cordova build I got this error:

    Undefined symbols for architecture i386:
  "_SCNetworkReachabilityCreateWithAddress", referenced from:
      +[CDVReachability reachabilityWithAddress:] in CDVReachability.o

** BUILD FAILED **


The following build commands failed:

Command finished with error code 65: /Users/dev/Development/ncoi-econnect-hybrid/platforms/ios/cordova/build

If I try to build from XCODE I get this error:

Sounds like the SystemConfiguration.framework was supposed to have been added automatically by the org.apache.cordova.network-information plugin but wasn't.

I ended up manually adding the SystemConfiguration.framework in Build Phases > Link Binary With Libraries per the comments in the following and it fixed it for me:
