AndroidManifest.xml file is not found | config-file preference is not set

Problem

Following the "Quick Start Guide" running on Ubuntu 17.10 produces:

cordova-hcp server
Running server
Checking:  /worklocal/dev/app/TestProject/www

Build 2018.02.12-19.43.12 created in /worklocal/dev/app/TestProject/www

CHCP plugin after prepare hook:
    config-file preference is not set.
{...}
Package name: com.example.testproject

This does not seem to be correct since hot code reload is not working at all (emulator and device).

Steps to reproduce

Run commands listed on https://github.com/nordnet/cordova-hot-code-push --> Quick Start Guide

Hello, any plan to fix this issue soon.
I think Cordova Android platform 7.x is widely used :/
