             Summary: Cordova breaking iOS plugins
                 Key: CB-560
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-560
             Project: Apache Callback
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: iOS
    Affects Versions: 1.6.1
         Environment: From 
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/phonegap/2G5OPKV_FdQ someone 
apparently tried upgrading from PhoneGap 1.1 to 1.6.

             Fix For: 1.7.0


>From 1.4 to 1.5, the namespace was changed from PhoneGap to Cordova which was 
>breaking all of the existing plugins. I eventually provided a shim class but 
>it was too late to stop the pain. Then in Javascript only Cordova was changed 
>to cordova, breaking the iOS plugins yet again. I noticed in cordova (1.6.0) 
>JS:

if (!window.PhoneGap) {
    window.PhoneGap = cordova;
}

This should have been done for Cordova like:
if (!Cordova) {
 Cordova = cordova;
}

Yes we should be deprecating the old namespaces for removal in another major 
release. Any API changes made before a major release should be made with a 
workaround, to be deprecated, and tested with some plugins before shipping.
