---------------------------------------

Sorry I have to walk back what I said, after conferring with a colleague. My 
focus was also on making this "backwards compatible" with the previous version, 
but the previous version had it wrong.

iframes *should* be governed by the whitelist. Any page loaded by the iframe, 
if they include cordova.js, can access your plugins, which opens up a huge 
hole. Therefore, in this case iOS is doing the correct thing while Android is 
not.

So now what we really need is <allow-navigation> for iframes only. I'm not sure 
if its possible on Android but on cordova-ios, it is possible if we add another 
attribute for example, cleverly called "iframe", and the allow-navigation 
directive would only apply to iframes. This is of course still dependent on 
cordova-ios being able to detect iframes reliably.

{code}
<allow-navigation href="http://youtube.com"; iframe="true" />
{code}

>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: iOS
>    Affects Versions: 6.0.0

> Currently with Whitelist plugin set to <allow-navigation="*://domain.com/*"> 
> doesn't allow navigation to other domains including urls embedded using 
> iframe on iOS.
> EG: If I tried to embed a youtube video using iframe tag with only this rule  
> <allow-navigation="*://domain.com/*">, it doesn't allow loading of the video 
> in iframe as youtube.com is not listed in allowed domains.
> If we add <allow-navigation="*://youtube.com/*"> it allows the loading of 
> iframe but will also allow navigation to youtube.com using Javascript i.e 
> window.open('http://youtube.com'). 
> With current implementation in cordova-ios, I'm not sure if there is any 
> solution to allow a domain navigation in iframe and not allow navigation to 
> that domain using other methods like javascript.
> Android ignores the allow-navigation rule for iframe loaded urls, so iOS 
> should be modified to behave the same?
