-------------------------------
Summary: Statusbar plugin may cause cordova not to load
Key: CB-6663
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6663
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Plugin Statusbar
Affects Versions: 3.4.0
Environment: iOS 7.1 on iPhone 5, Xcode 5
Reporter: Tom Sanidas
Found this while researching symptoms like those in CB-5488, where Cordova was
not finding "document.body" and not initializing or firing "deviceready". When
using the Statusbar plugin on iOS for its ability to "overlaysWebView=false",
found that when including JQuery in those same pages, Cordova would
intermittently fail to load. Used the Mac Safari "Developer" tool option
debugger to step through on the device and saw the error was in cordova.js's
operating on a null "document.body". The call stack pointed to statusbar.js.
I believe this is due to Statusbar's Javascript calling exec() before
"device ready". I was able to do some testing and if I deferred this exec()
call until after "deviceready", the error disappears.
If I can figure out how, I might be able to propose my changes properly.
They only were about 3 lines of Javascript, but I need to get set up to test,
etc.
