Upgrading Cordova iOS

Upgrading Cordova iOS

Please note that Xcode 4.5 is required. To submit to the Apple App Store, you must use the latest shipped version of the iOS SDK, which is iOS 6. The iOS 6 SDK requires Xcode 4.5.

    <!-- other plugins -->
</plugins>


<!-- change to: (note that a <feature> tag is on the same level as <plugins> -->

    <plugin name="InAppBrowser" value="CDVInAppBrowser" />
  12. Note that Objective-C plugins are not whitelisted anymore. To whitelist your connections with the app whitelist, you will need to set the “User-Agent” header of the connection to the same user-agent as the main Cordova WebView. You can get this by accessing the userAgent property off the main view-controller. The main view-controller (CDVViewController) also has a URLisAllowed method for you to check whether a URL will pass the whitelist.
  13. Device API changes:
    • For iOS, device.platform used to return “iPhone”, “iPad” or “iPod Touch” — now it returns (correctly) “iOS”.
    • For iOS, device.name (now deprecated for all platforms) used to return the name of the user’s device (e.g ‘Shazron’s iPhone 5′) — now it returns what device.platform used to return: ”iPhone”, “iPad” or “iPod Touch”.
    • For all platforms, there is a new property called device.model — this returns the specific device model, e.g “iPad2,5″ (for other platforms, this returns what device.name used to return).

Upgrading Cordova 2.1.0 projects to 2.2.0

  1. Download and extract the Cordova 2.2.0 source to a permanent folder location on your hard drive (say to ~/Documents/Cordova-2.2.0)

  8. Copy the cordova folder from the new project into your project's root folder (in 2.2.0, this has an updated 'emulate' script)

    1. Launch Terminal.app
    2. Go to the location where you installed Cordova (see Step 1), in the bin sub-folder

    3. Run the script below where the first parameter is the path to your project's .xcodeproj file:

      update_cordova_subproject path/to/your/project/xcodeproj

NOTE: In 2.2.0, the bin/create script copy in the CordovaLib sub-project into your project. To have the same kind of setup, just copy in the right CordovaLib into your project folder, and update the CordovaLib sub-project location (relative to the project) in the Xcode File Inspector.

Upgrading Cordova 2.0.0 projects to 2.1.0

With Cordova 2.1.0, CordovaLib has been upgraded to use Automatic Reference Counting (ARC). You don't need to upgrade to ARC to use CordovaLib, but if you want to upgrade your project to use ARC, please use the Xcode migration wizard from the menu: Edit → Refactor → Convert to Objective-C ARC..., de-select libCordova.a, then run the wizard to completion.

  1. Download and extract the Cordova 2.1.0 source to a permanent folder location on your hard drive (say to ~/Documents/Cordova-2.1.0)
  2. Quit Xcode if it is running.
  3. Navigate to the directory where you put the downloaded source above, using Terminal.app.
  4. Create a new project from the command-line tools. You need to use the assets from this new project.

  10. Remove the VERSION file reference from your project (not the one in CordovaLib)

  11. Next, update your CordovaLib sub-project reference. Beginning with Cordova 2.1.0, we are not using the CORDOVALIB Xcode variable anymore when referencing where CordovaLib resides, the reference is an absolute file reference now.

    1. Launch Terminal.app
    2. Go to the location where you installed Cordova (see Step 1), in the bin sub-folder

    3. Run the script below where the first parameter is the path to your project's .xcodeproj file:

      update_cordova_subproject path/to/your/project/xcodeproj
