how to run scripts in hook folder cordova?

I am trying to run scripts within the hook folder as described here; http://devgirl.org/2013/11/12/three-hooks-your-cordovaphonegap-project-needs/. I have created a cordova project and ran the cordova platform add (ios) command. Then I added two different scripts (one test.sh and one test.js). Here is the sh/bash one;

#!/usr/bin/env bash
echo "yo"
mkdir t
cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.device

I then chmod a+x test.sh within the hooks folder, before going out to the root of the cordova project and wrote cordova prepare. Now I would expect to have a plugin added in my plugins folder, but it does not seem like the script has been executed. Is there something else I have to do to get it to work? The script works fine when explicitly using sh test.sh in the hooks folder. I found a related question, but this deals only with the .js-file not the bash/sh script (cordova plugin installation issue when using node script in hooks folder). I found a second related question (Cordova hooks, Get projects name)

Some examples are given in the Apache official example.

You have to put them in one of the directories listed as Supported hook types, i.e. after_platform_add depending on your needs.

You may also write them directly within the config.xml, i.e. <hook type="before_build" src="myScripts/myHook.js" />

I would recommend to write them in JavaScript but you can obviously write them in Shell (.sh) or batch (.bat).
