Shazron Abdullah commented on CB-7539:
--------------------------------------
It's perfectly good code, they just didn't bother to update it for the later
SDKs, because... not important to them.
The only way to see if this passes app review is to submit for app review. I
wouldn't stir the hornet's nest by filing a radar -- lots of other apps use
local webservers. GoodReader for example, and other apps that allow people to
download the documents from the apps by sending ppl to a local url.

> Key: CB-7539
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-7539
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: iOS
> Reporter: Shazron Abdullah
> Priority: Blocker
>
> This workaround is because of this bug:
> http://www.openradar.me/radar?id=5839348817723392
> (filed with Apple of course also)
> I'm still hoping that Apple fixes this in iOS 8.1, but we should have this as
> a contingency plan.
> Create this as an included plugin, so it can be extracted later if need be.
> We need to secure access to the local webserver, probably through a session
> token in the header, since background apps can have access to the webserver.
> The session token is passed down to the initially loaded local page specified
> from the <content> tag in config.xml, and should be used in the cordova.exec
> call. We would also need to implement local proxy support , see CB-7348
> This all sounds more complex than it needs to be than just loading a file url
> -- wishing Apple would just fix this in iOS 8.1 instead.
