Overview As reported by Tim Anderson Cross-platform development is a big deal, and will continue to be so until a day comes when everyone uses the same platform. Android? HTML? WebKit? iOS? Windows? Xamarin? Titanum? PhoneGap? Corona? ecc. Sometimes I hear it said that there are essentially two approaches to cross-platform mobile apps. You can … Read more
I’m pretty sure the reason that you can still use the plugin is because you either edited the wrong config.xml or did not run the cordova command line tools to propagate your changes to the correct config.xml file that is actually used by the app. There are multiple config.xml files in different spots in a … Read more
The best way to open links in a new URL is actually with window.open. Just set the target as “_system”: window.open(“http://stackoverflow.com”, “_system”); Before I found this in the docs, I actually wrote a plugin to do the same.

Please be aware that you will have to set up a whitelist for your apps to access … Read more

And with Cordova 3.5.something things started to go wrong, and some changes were lost each time I built the project. Now I added those lines in config.xml and the … Read more
