No, it appears all the time. But note that in 3.2.0 this goes away (moved
to a plugin). See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4979

Yes

Yes

Yes, feature tag param only

 You can see this better in iOS 7 when the keyboard is translucent.
Basically with this setting is true, your webview is always above the
keyboard, when false, the keyboard is on top of your webview.

Small grey spinner in the middle of your screen. Will be apparent if
AutoHideSplashscreen is false.

Question for the Build team, really

 Both a/v. Yes, it affects autoplay. No, js cannot initiate playback
without user input if this setting is true.

No idea what this is
