I'm trying to fix https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-10288
I've tested on simulators and seems to work fine, but I don't have any real iPad with multitasking support to test. As cordova doesn't officially support multitasking yet, you have to follow these steps to add the support. On an empty project with ios platform (tested on cordova ios 3.9.2, but I think it should work on 4) Add all orientatios <preference name="Orientation" value="all" /> add my commit of statusbar plugin cordova plugin add https://github.com/jcesarmobile/cordova-plugin-statusbar#578fa1b Open the xcode project and create a new "Launch Screen" file On the target "General" screen, set the file as "Launch Screen File" and uncheck "Requires full screen" I use this as the index.html but you can use your own https://gist.github.com/jcesarmobile/114fdb8b771837440752
