Add READ_PHONE_STATE android permission in ionic v1 app

I am trying to add READ_PHONE_STATE android permission to config.xml file in ionic v1 app, like this:

   <platform name="android">
	     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />

I can ionic serve, but when I build, it fails with the error:

    AAPT: Error parsing XML: unbound prefix

Not sure if my syntax is incorrect, or there is other way to do this in ionic v1.

I have also tried this variation:

<config-file platform="android" parent="/manifest" mode="merge">
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
</config-file>
