Android Build error: File not found

Plugins

I tracked this error to this config in config.xml, without it app builds:

<platform name="android">
    <config-file parent="/manifest/application" target="app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml">
      <meta-data
        android:name="com.transistorsoft.locationmanager.license_key"
        android:value="OUR_PLUGIN_LICENSE_KEY" />
    </config-file>
  </platform>

What’s wrong with this config?
At Phonegap Build it worked with this.

Plugin installed with these instructions:
