---------------------------------
Summary: iOS: "original" user agent needs to be overridable
Key: CB-2520
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-2520
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: iOS
Affects Versions: Master
Reporter: Kevin Hawkins
Assignee: Shazron Abdullah
Cordova's user agent management for iOS employs a scheme of setting a baseline
"original" user agent, which by default conforms to the standard user agent a
UIWebView would expose, and then optionally appending
CDVViewController-specific data to it in the appropriate use cases, to manage
whitelisting.
Cordova shouldn't really care too much about the data that the original user
agent exposes. I.e. it should be able to be overridden by a consumer, so that
the consumer can supply its own user agent data. This is not technically
possible with the current implementation of the CDVUserAgentUtil class, since
it does not exist as a member of any instance class; it's truly static/global,
so inheritance doesn't come into play.
Even if an instance of CDVuserAgentUtil could be made a property of
CDVViewController, or something else, it would be kind of weird for a consumer
to inherit from what's essentially a static class, just to configure their own
user agent data.
There should be another mechanism for users to override the original user agent
configuration.
