identity api is missing from `dev` branch about mobile-chrome-apps

[adam-singer]

The manifest I'm using looks like:

{
  "name": "YOUR APP HERE",
  "description": "DESCRIPTION HERE",
  "manifest_version": 2,
  "minimum_chrome_version": "23",
  "version": "0.1.1",
  "offline_enabled": true,
  "key": "SUPERLONGKEY",
  "permissions": ["webview", "identity", "http://*", "http://*/", "https://*", "https://*/"],
  "icons": {
    "16": "assets/icons/icon16.png",
    "48": "assets/icons/icon48.png",
    "128": "assets/icons/icon128.png"
  },
  "app": {
    "background": {
      "scripts": ["background.js"]
    }
  },
  "oauth2": {
    // client_id below is specifc to the application key. Follow the
    // documentation to obtain one for your app.
    "client_id": "SOMECLIENTID.apps.googleusercontent.com",
    "scopes": ["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.login"]
  }
}

Actually this issue should be renamed on documenting how additional plugins are added when importing projects with existing manifest files. What should you do if your project is already created? within a cordova container?

Ah, I wondered if that was the issue. (1. create project 2. add indentity
to permission 3. it doesn't work).

Currently the answer is that you need to recreate the project again, but
we're hoping that soon we'll have "mca prepare" take notice of the
permissions change and sync the correct plugins.

@agrieve yep the problem is identity plugin does not get added unless it sees it in the manifest.json when you do mca com.somespace.Demo --source=~/location/to/existing/project. Agree it would be ideal for mca prepare to pick up the changes. I tried to change some xml config files, which I thought would end up adding the plugin. I dont know what happened, but those files did get overwritten on the platform android configurations.

Will close out this bug and open a new one. It really sounds like mca prepare should support manifest permissions/plugin changes.
