             Summary: Embedding the WebView on iOS breaks all plugins
                 Key: CB-6633
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6633
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: CordovaJS, CordovaLib
    Affects Versions: 3.4.0
            Reporter: Björn Vermeule


I have manually embedded the WebView on a Storyboard in iOS. I've done this by generating a new application using the Cordova CLI and then commenting the initialization part in AppDelegate.didFinishLaunchingWithOptions. I have then created a ViewController that sits between the Storyboard and the generated controller that derives from CDVViewController. Embedding the WebView works perfectly fine this way. However, all communication between JavaScript and the native code has stopped working. This also means the DeviceReady event does not get fired.

I have tried the following:

* It works fine on Android (but this might be less relevant)
* Tried overriding CDVCommandQueue and CDVCommandDelegateImpl but the implemented functions do not get called.
* I have put breakpoints in all functions of CDVCommandQueue in CordovaLib but none get called.
* cordova.exec gets successfully called on JavaScripts' end.
* Uncommenting the code in AppDelegate.didFinishLaunchingWithOptions (and thus overriding the embedded view) works perfectly
* This applies to the Camera plugin and a simple custom plugin I made.

I'm completely lost trying to find what the cause of this is. All I could find was this which seemed pretty much the same: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19634361/cordova-3-0-on-ios-plugin-method-not-being-called/19854528

If you want code or let me debug something please let me know. This applies to Cordova 3.4.1
