iOS: CDVViewController.startPage - Any thoughts/plans on allowing
full URLs there?
We're building out frameworks based on Cordova that have feature parity between Android and iOS. We've come into a refactoring project in our frameworks where it would be very useful to be able to optionally jump straight from native to an HTTP(S) endpoint as our start page. Android can do this, but this functionality is not available in the iOS offering.
My question is, is this deliberately missing, or just something that never really got into the update queue? I'd be willing to take a look at it, but it seemed prudent to first ask if there are good reasons for that not being available in iOS.
Cheers,
Kevin

The way I understand it is that apps signed with an enterprise cert will
run an any device, and are installed through mobile safari. If apple
catches your cert on an app that goes beyond the scope of your enterprise,
they'll revoke your cert and all of your apps will break.

Wait so there is an official route for no reviews anymore? Huh. I thought
that was the _only_ reason this wasn't implemented yet.
Would be so nice for dev workflows!

The original focus was for Apple App Store apps (thus having features
that will not raise Apple's ire), thus it was only designed to load a
file from the app's sandbox. With Enterprise distribution though (no
Apple App Review) -- this can be really useful and should be put on
the queue for implementation.

Thanks Andrew. I'll start poking around with it, and see how it goes. Shaz will probably have thoughts too. :)
Cheers,

It's probably something that's just not been gotten to yet. Going straight
to the web means your app won't work offline out-of-the-box though, and
might hurt your appstore approval chances.
It'd be worth adding to Cordova anyways though, as it's useful for testing,
and as you pointed out, Android supports it.
There's also another related bug here:
