Apache Cordova iOS

The following configuration and behavior changes were introduced in version 5.1.0 and later:

Deployment Target

• Minimum Deployment Target: The default minDeploymentTarget in the Podfile is bumped to 10.0 (as of version 5.1.0).

WebView Configuration

• UIWebView Disabling: An optional compile-time decision has been added to allow disabling UIWebView (introduced in 5.1.0).

Orientation

• Orientation Pre-filling: The system no longer pre-fills the orientation setting (introduced in recent versions).
• Deprecated Methods: Deprecated orientation methods have been removed.

Bundle Identifier

• Bundle ID: The bundleid is now only set to the main app target.

In CDVViewController.h, the webView property has been modified to be of type UIView* instead of UIWebView*. This change allows for different types of WebView engines. If your code requires UIWebView specific functionality, you must check the class type before casting.

if ([self.webView isKindOfClass:[UIWebView class]]) {
    // call a UIWebView specific method here, for example
    [((UIWebView*)self.webView) goBack];
}
