Could not use link mode of cordova plugin.

[robario]

When using symlink to install this plugin

$ cordova plugin add --link ./node_modules/cordova-hot-code-push-local-dev-addon

It modify ./node_modules/cordova-hot-code-push-local-dev-addon/src/ios/HCPLDPlugin.h
not ./platforms/ios/*/Plugins/cordova-hot-code-push-local-dev-addon/HCPLDPlugin.h.

In other words, this plugin modify ./plugins/cordova-hot-code-push-local-dev-addon/src/ios/HCPLDPlugin.h.

I think a plugin should not modify itself.
It should only modify the under ./platforms/ instead.

It doesn't. It modifies only platform's version and not the source: https://github.com/nordnet/cordova-hot-code-push-local-dev-addon/blob/master/scripts/lib/swiftHelper.js#L181 .

So my guess that there's something wrong with symlinking.

Certainly...
I show the difference between using link mode and not link mode.
