+# Plugin Development Guide
+
+A Cordova plugin bridges a bit of functionality between the WebView
+powering a Cordova application and the native platform the Cordova
+application is running on. Plugins are composed of a single JavaScript
+interface used across all platforms, and native implementations
+following platform-specific Plugin interfaces that the JavaScript will
+call into. It should be noted that all of the core Cordova APIs are
+implemented using this exact architecture.
+
+This guide will go through each step necessary to write a simple Echo
+Plugin. The Echo Plugin will pass a string from JavaScript and send it
+into the native environment for the supported platforms. The native code
+will then return the same string back into the callbacks inside the
+plugin's JavaScript.
+
+This guide should give anyone the necessary overview and level of
+detail to write more complex plugins.
+
+## JavaScript
+
+The entry point for any plugin is JavaScript. The reason developers use
+Cordova is so they can use and write JavaScript, not Objective-C,
+not Java, not C#. The JavaScript interface for your plugin is the
+front-facing and arguably most important part of your Cordova plugin.
+
+You can structure your plugin's JavaScript however you like. The one
+thing you _must_ use to communicate between the Cordova JavaScript
+ and native environments is the `cordova.exec` function. Here is an example:
+
+ cordova.exec(function(winParam) {}, function(error) {}, "service",
+ "action", ["firstArgument", "secondArgument", 42,
+ false]);
+
+The parameters explained in more detail:
+
+1. `function(winParam) {}` - Success function callback. Assuming your
+ `exec` call completes successfully, this function will be invoked
+ (optionally with any parameters you pass back to it)
+2. `function(error) {}` - Error function callback. If the operation does
+ not complete successfully, this function will be invoked (optionally
+ with an error parameter)
+3. `"service"` - The service name to call into on the native side. This
+ will be mapped to a native class. More on this in the native guides
+ below
+4. `"action"` - The action name to call into. This is picked up by the
+ native class receiving the `exec` call, and, depending on the
+ platform, essentially maps to a class's method. For more detail
+ please check out the native guides located at the end of this article.
+5. `[/* arguments */]` - Arguments to get passed into the native
+ environment
+
+### Echo Plugin JavaScript Example
+
+ window.echo = function(str, callback) {
+ cordova.exec(callback, function(err) {
+ callback('Nothing to echo.');
+ }, "Echo", "echo", [str]);
+ };
+
+Let's dive into this. The plugin attaches itself to `window`,
+specifically to the `echo` function. Plugin users would then use it as
+follows:
+
+ window.echo("echome", function(echoValue) {
+ alert(echoValue == "echome"); // should alert true.
+ });
+
+First, let's take a look at the last three arguments to the `exec`
+function. We will be calling the `Echo` "service", requesting the `echo`
+"action", and passing an array of arguments containing the echo string,
+which is the first parameter into the `window.echo` function.
+
+The success callback passed into `exec` is simply a reference to the
+callback function that `window.echo` takes. We do a bit more for the
+error callback: if the native side fires off the error callback, we
+simply invoke the success callback and pass into it a "default" string.
+
+## Native
+
+Once you have defined a JavaScript for your plugin, you need to
+complement it with at least one native implementation. Below are
+specific guides for each platform Cordova supports. The below guides
+will continue on building the simple Echo Plugin example we started in
+this guide.

+
+# Developing a Plugin on iOS
+
+A plugin is an Objective-C class that extends the `CDVPlugin` class.
+
+Each plugin class must be registered using the config.xml file, as a <plugin> tag under the <plugins> key.
+
+## Plugin Class Mapping
+
+The JavaScript portion of a plugin always uses the `cordova.exec` method as follows:
+
+ exec(<successFunction>, <failFunction>, <service>, <action>, [<args>]);
+
+This will marshal a request from the UIWebView to the iOS native side, more or less boiling down to calling the `action` method on the `service` class, with the arguments passed in the `args` Array.
+
+The plugin must be added under the `<plugins>` tag of the `config.xml` file in your Cordova-iOS application's project folder.
+
+ <plugin name="service_name" value="PluginClassName" />
+
+The key `service_name` should match what you use in the JavaScript `exec` call, and the value will be the name of the Objective-C class of the plugin. Without this added, the plugin may compile but will not be reachable by Cordova.
+
+## Plugin Initialization and Lifetime
+
+There is one instance of a plugin object that is created per-UIWebView, and the lifetime of the instance is tied to the UIWebView. Plugins are not instantiated until they are first referenced by a call from JS, unless the `onload` attribute set within config.xml. E.g.:
+
+ <plugin name="Echo" value="Echo" onload="true" />
+
+There is *no* designated initializer for plugins. Instead, plugins should use the `pluginInitialize` method for their start-up logic.
+
+Plugins with long-running requests, background activity (e.g. playing media), listeners or internal state should implement the `onReset` method and stop or clean up those activities. This method is run when the `UIWebView` navigates to a new page or refreshes, which reloads the Javascript.
+
+
+## Writing an iOS Cordova Plugin
+
+We have JavaScript fire off a plugin request to the native side. We have the iOS Objective-C plugin mapped properly via the `config.xml` file. So what does the final iOS Objective-C Plugin class look like?
+
+What gets dispatched to the plugin via JavaScript's `exec` function gets passed into the corresponding Plugin class's `action` method. A plugin method has this signature:
+
+ - (void)myMethod:(CDVInvokedUrlCommand*)command
+ {
+ CDVPluginResult* pluginResult = nil;
+ NSString* myarg = [command.arguments objectAtIndex:0];
+
+ if (myarg != nil) {
+ pluginResult = [CDVPluginResult resultWithStatus:CDVCommandStatus_OK];
+ } else {
+ pluginResult = [CDVPluginResult resultWithStatus:CDVCommandStatus_ERROR messageAsString:@"Arg was null"];
+ }
+ [self.commandDelegate sendPluginResult:pluginResult callbackId:command.callbackId];
+ }
+
+1. [CDVInvokedUrlCommand.h](https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/blob/master/CordovaLib/Classes/CDVInvokedUrlCommand.h)
+2. [CDVPluginResult.h](https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/blob/master/CordovaLib/Classes/CDVPluginResult.h)
+3. [CDVCommandDelegate.h](https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/blob/master/CordovaLib/Classes/CDVCommandDelegate.h)
+
+## iOS CDVPluginResult message types
+
+Using CDVPluginResult you can return a variety of result types back to your javascript callbacks, using class methods that look like:
+
+ + (CDVPluginResult*)resultWithStatus:(CDVCommandStatus)statusOrdinal messageAs...
+
+The types you can create are: `String`, `Int`, `Double`, `Bool`, `Array`, `Dictionary`, `ArrayBuffer`, and `Multipart`. Or, don't attach any arguments (just send a status). Or, return an Error. You can even chose to not send any plugin result at all (your callback will not fire).
+
+### Notes
+
+ * `messageAsArrayBuffer` expects `NSData*` and will convert to an `ArrayBuffer` for your javascript callback (and `ArrayBuffers` sent to a plugin from javascript are converted to `NSData*`).
+ * `messageAsMultipart` expects an `NSArray*` containing any of the other supported types, and will send the whole array as the `arguments` to your javascript callback.
+ * Quirk: this is not just syntactic sugar (though it is sweet). This way, all of the arguments are serialized/deserialized as necessary. e.g. it is safe to return `NSData*` as multipart, but not as `Array`/`Dictionary`.
+
+## Plugin Signatures
+
+The **new signature** supported beginning in **Cordova 2.1.0** is:
+
+ - (void)myMethod:(CDVInvokedUrlCommand*)command;
+
+The **old (deprecated)** signature is:
+
+ - (void)myMethod:(NSMutableArray*)arguments withDict:(NSMutableDictionary*)options;
+
+Basically, the options dictionary has been removed for the new signature, and the callbackId is not the 0th index item for the arguments array, but it is now in a separate property.
+
+## Echo Plugin iOS Plugin
+
+We would add the following to the `<plugins>` tag of the project's `config.xml` file:
+
+ <plugin name="Echo" value="Echo" />
+
+Then we would add the following files (`Echo.h` and `Echo.m`) to the Plugins folder inside our Cordova-iOS
+application folder:
+
+ /********* Echo.h Cordova Plugin Header *******/
+
+ #import <Cordova/CDV.h>
+
+ @interface Echo : CDVPlugin
+
+ - (void)echo:(CDVInvokedUrlCommand*)command;
+
+ @end
+
+ /********* Echo.m Cordova Plugin Implementation *******/
+
+ #import "Echo.h"
+ #import <Cordova/CDV.h>
+
+ @implementation Echo
+
+ - (void)echo:(CDVInvokedUrlCommand*)command
+ {
+ CDVPluginResult* pluginResult = nil;
+ NSString* echo = [command.arguments objectAtIndex:0];
+
+ if (echo != nil && [echo length] > 0) {
+ pluginResult = [CDVPluginResult resultWithStatus:CDVCommandStatus_OK messageAsString:echo];
+ } else {
+ pluginResult = [CDVPluginResult resultWithStatus:CDVCommandStatus_ERROR];
+ }
+
+ [self.commandDelegate sendPluginResult:pluginResult callbackId:command.callbackId];
+ }
+
+ @end
+
+
+Let's take a look at the code. At the top we have all of the necessary Cordova imports. Our class extends from `CDVPlugin` - very important.
+
+This plugin only supports one action, the `echo` action. First, we grab the echo string using the `objectAtIndex` method on our `args`, telling it we want to get the 0th parameter in the arguments array. We do a bit of parameter checking: make sure it is not `nil`, and make sure it is not a zero-length string.
+
+If it is, we return a `PluginResult` with an `ERROR` status. If all of those checks pass, then we return a `PluginResult` with an `OK` status, and pass in the `echo` string we received in the first place as a parameter.
+
+Finally, we send the result to `self.commandDelegate`, which will execute the JavaScript that will callback to success or failure callbacks of the exec method on the JavaScript side. If the success callback was called, it will pass the `echo` parameter as a parameter.
+
+## Threading
+
+Plugin methods are executed on the UI thread. If your plugin requires a non-trivial amount of processing or requires a blocking call, you should make use of a background thread. An example:
+
+ - (void)myPluginMethod:(CDVInvokedUrlCommand*)command
+ {
+ // Check command.arguments here.
+ [self.commandDelegate runInBackground:^{
+ NSString* payload = nil;
+ // Some blocking logic...
+ CDVPluginResult* pluginResult = [CDVPluginResult resultWithStatus:CDVCommandStatus_OK messageAsString:payload];
+ // The sendPluginResult method is thread-safe.
+ [self.commandDelegate sendPluginResult:pluginResult callbackId:command.callbackId];
+ }];
+ }
+
+
+## Advanced Plugin Functionality
+
+See other methods that you can override in:
+
+1. [CDVPlugin.h](https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/blob/master/CordovaLib/Classes/CDVPlugin.h)
+2. [CDVPlugin.m](https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/blob/master/CordovaLib/Classes/CDVPlugin.m)
+
+For example, you can hook into the pause, resume, app terminate and handleOpenURL events.
+
+## Debugging Plugins
+
+To debug the Objective-C side, you would use Xcode's built in debugger. For JavaScript, on iOS 5.0 you can use [Weinre, an Apache Cordova Project](https://github.com/apache/cordova-weinre) or [iWebInspector, a third-party utility](http://www.iwebinspector.com/)
+
+For iOS 6, you would use Safari 6.0 to simply attach to your app running in the iOS 6 Simulator.
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+* Don't forget to add your plugin's mapping to config.xml - if you forgot, an error will be printed to the Xcode console log
+* Don't forget to add any hosts you connect to in the [whitelist](guide_whitelist_index.md.html#Domain%20Whitelist%20Guide) - if you forgot, an error will be printed to the Xcode console log
+
+## Deprecated Plugin Signature Note
+
+The **old (deprecated)** signature is:
+
+ - (void) myMethod:(NSMutableArray*)arguments withDict:(NSMutableDictionary*)options;
+
+The options parameter for the Objective-C plugin method is deprecated, and it should not be used. For legacy reasons - the last JavaScript object passed in the args Array will be passed in as the options dictionary of the method in Objective-C. You must make sure that any JavaScript object that is passed in as an element in the args array occurs as the last item in the Array, if not it will throw off the array index of all subsequent parameters of the Array in Objective-C. Only one JavaScript object is supported for the options dictionary, and only the last one encountered will be passed to the native method. It is because of these error-prone reasons that they are being deprecated.

+---
+
+Developing a Plugin on Windows Phone
+====================================
+
+Writing a plugin for Cordova on Windows Phone requires a basic understanding of
+the architecture of Cordova. Cordova-WP7 consists of a WebBrowser which hosts the
+application javascript code and manages native API calls. There is a BaseCommand
+(`WP7CordovaClassLib.Cordova.Commands.BaseCommand`) class in C# which you can extend,
+and it comes with the majority of the 'plumbing' built for you already.
+
+1. Select your project, and right click choose 'Add -> New Item ...'
+ - Preferably add it to the 'Plugins' folder, but it is up to you
+2. Select 'Class' and name it `Echo.cs`
+ - The name of this class must EXACTLY match what you call into `cordova.exec(win, fail, "Echo", ...)`
+3. Include the base classes implementation
+
+ using WPCordovaClassLib.Cordova;
+ using WPCordovaClassLib.Cordova.Commands;
+ using WPCordovaClassLib.Cordova.JSON;
+
+4. Extend your class from BaseCommand
+
+ public class Echo : BaseCommand
+ {
+ // ...
+ }
+
+5. Add a method that is callable from JS
+
+ public class Echo : BaseCommand
+ {
+ public void echo(string options)
+ {
+ // all JS callable plugin methods MUST have this signature!
+ // public, returning void, 1 argument that is a string
+ }
+ }
+
+Namespaces
+----------
+
+The default namespace for unqualified commands is:
+
+ namespace Cordova.Extension.Commands
+ {
+ // ...
+ }
+
+If you would like to use your own namespace, you will need to make a fully qualified
+call to `cordova.exec`. For example, if you wanted to define your C# class like this:
+
+ namespace com.mydomain.cordovaExtensions
+ {
+ public class Echo : BaseCommand
+ {
+ // ...
+ }
+ }
+
+Then, in JS you would need to call exec like this:
+
+ cordova.exec(win, fail, "com.mydomain.cordovaExtensions.Echo", ...);
+
+Interpreting your arguments in C#
+----------------------------------
+
+The data received by your plugin method is a string value, but in actuality
+looking at our JavaScript code, we see our intention was to pass an array of strings.
+Looking back at our JS call to `cordova.exec`, we see we passed `[str]`:
+
+ cordova.exec(win, fail, "Echo", "echo", ["input string"]);
+
+If we inspect the options string passed in to our `Echo.echo` method, we will
+see that the value is actually:
+
+ "[\"input string\"]"
+
+All javascript exec arguments are JSON encoded before being passed into C#.
+
+If we want to treat this as the string we were expecting, we need to decode it.
+We can use simple JSON deserialization.
+
+ string optVal = JsonHelper.Deserialize<string[]>(options)[0];
+ // optVal now has the value of "input string"
+
+Passing results from C# to JS
+-----------------------------
+
+The base class BaseCommand provides methods for passing data to your JS callback handlers.
+To simply signal that the command has succeeded, when no additional result info is needed,
+you can can simply call:
+
+ DispatchCommandResult(); // calls back with an empty plugin result, considered a success callback
+
+To pass data back, you will need to call a different version of `DispatchCommandResult`:
+
+ DispatchCommandResult(new PluginResult(PluginResult.Status.OK, "Everything went as planned, this is a result that is passed to the success handler."));
+
+To pass structured object data back to JS, it should be encoded as a JSON string:
+
+ DispatchCommandResult(new PluginResult(PluginResult.Status.OK, "{result:\"super awesome!\"}"));
+
+If you need to signal that an error has occurred, you can call `DispatchCommandResult` with a `PluginResult` object:
+
+ DispatchCommandResult(new PluginResult(PluginResult.Status.ERROR, "Echo signaled an error"));
+
+Handling serialization errors in your plugin's C# method
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+When interpreting your arguments, it is a good idea to use a try/catch block
+in case we have bad input. This is a pattern used throughout the Cordova C# code:
+
+ string optVal = null;
+
+ try
+ {
+ optVal = JsonHelper.Deserialize<string[]>(options)[0];
+ }
+ catch(Exception)
+ {
+ // simply catch the exception, we will handle null values and exceptions together
+ }
+
+ if (optVal == null)
+ {
+ DispatchCommandResult(new PluginResult(PluginResult.Status.JSON_EXCEPTION));
+ }
+ else
+ {
+ // ... continue on to do our work
+ }
+
+Advanced Plugin Functionality
+-----------------------------
+
+See other methods that you can override in:
+
+1. [BaseCommand.cs](https://github.com/apache/cordova-wp7/blob/master/templates/standalone/cordovalib/Commands/BaseCommand.cs)
+
+For example, you can hook into the 'pause' and 'resume' application events.
+
+### Debugging Plugins
+
+To debug the C# side, you can use Visual Studio's debugger, just set a break point
+at any of the methods exposed by your class.
+
+Javascript is a little more difficult to debug on Windows Phone, you will need to
+use `console.log` to output the state of your plugin, or inform yourself of errors.
+
+Common Pitfalls
+---------------
+
+- Be careful when deciding on the arguments you pass to native in your JavaScript
+ implementation. Most device platforms expect the args passed to cordova.exec
+ to be an array, but if you have different types of objects in this array, it
+ becomes difficult or impossible to deserialize.
+
+ cordova.exec(win, fail, "ServiceName", "MethodName", ["this is a string", 54, {literal:'trouble'}]);
+
+ - This will mean that your C# code will receive a difficult to decode string value, such as:
+
+ "[\"this is a string\", 54, { literal:'trouble' }]"
+
+ - Consider converting ALL parameters to strings before calling exec:
+
+ cordova.exec(win, fail, "ServiceName", "MethodName", ["this is a string", "54", "{literal:'trouble'}"]) ;
+
+ string[] optValues = JsonHelper.Deserialize<string[]>(options);
+
+- It is usually a good idea to do parameter checking in your JavaScript code,
+ before you call exec. This will let you re-use more JS code between different
+ native implementations of your plugin.

Your users expect that their private information will be collected and treated appropriately by your app. Also, there are an increasing number of jurisdictions that now have legal requirements regarding mobile privacy practices.
+
+This guide on mobile app privacy should be considered a "primer" addressing some the most significant issues. It outlines some broadly accepted best practices and provides references to other more detailed guides and references.
+
+* Privacy Policy.
+
+ You app should include a privacy policy that addresses topics such as what kind of information your app collects from or about your users, how that information is used, with whom it is shared, and how users can make privacy-related choices within the app. To aid understanding, you should use plain language and avoid technical jargon. You should make your privacy policy available for users to review prior to download, such as in the app description in the app marketplace. In addition, you should make your privacy policy available within the app itself. The limited size of mobile device displays creates challenges for displaying privacy policies to users. Consider developing a "short form" of the policy that includes the most important information, and then provide a link to the "long form" policy for those interested in more details. Several groups are attempting to develop icon-based standards for communicating privacy practices, which you may want to consider once these standar
ds mature.
+
+* Collection of sensitive information.
+
+ An app's collection of sensitive personal information raises important privacy concerns. Examples of sensitive personal information include financial information, health information, and information from or about children. It also includes information gathered from certain sensors and databases typically found on mobile devices and tablets, such as geolocation information, contacts/phonebook, microphone/camera, and stored pictures/videos. See the following documentation pages for more information: [camera](cordova_camera_camera.md.html), [capture](cordova_media_capture_capture.md.html), [contacts](cordova_contacts_contacts.md.html), and [geolocation](cordova_geolocation_geolocation.md.html). Generally, you should obtain a user's express permission before collecting sensitive information and, if possible, provide a control mechanism that allows a user to easily change permissions. App operating systems can help in some instances by presenting just-in-time dialog boxes that ask fo
r the user's permission before collection. In these cases, be sure to take advantage of any opportunity to customize the dialog box text to clarify how the app uses and, if applicable, shares such information.
+
+* Avoiding user surprise.
+
+ If your app collects or uses information in a way that may be surprising to users in light of the primary purpose of your app (for example, a music player that accesses stored pictures), you should take similar steps as with the collection of sensitive personal information. That is, you should strongly consider the use of just-in-time dialog boxes to inform the user about the collection or use of that information and, if appropriate, provide a corresponding privacy control.
+
+* Third party data collection or sharing.
+
+ If you app collects information that is provided to another company -- such as a social networking platform or an ad network (for example, if your app displays advertising) -- you should inform your users of that collection and sharing. At a minimum, your privacy policy should describe the information collection and sharing and, if appropriate, offer your users the ability to control or opt-out of such collection or sharing.
+
+* Collection limitation and security.
+
+ Your users entrust your app with their information and they expect that you will take appropriate security precautions to protect it. One of the best ways to avoid security compromises of personal information is not to collect the information in the first place unless your app has a specific and legitimate business reason for the collection. For information that does need to be collected, ensure that you provide appropriate security controls to protect that information, whether it is stored on the device or on your backend servers. You should also develop an appropriate data retention policy that is implemented within the app and on your backend servers.

+Project Settings for Android
+===================================
+
+The `config.xml` settings file controls various settings of Cordova. This is application wide, and not set per CordovaWebView Instance.
+
+## <preference>
+
+Various **other** preferences (as **<preference>** tags) default on not breaking existing apps. The available preferences are:
+
+1. **useBrowserHistory (boolean, defaults to true)** - set to false if you want to use the history shim that was used to work around the hashtag error present in Android 3.x prior to the history fix. (Note: This setting will be deprecated in April 2013)
+2. **loadingDialog** - Display a native loading dialog when loading the app. Format for the value is "Title, Message"
+3. **loadingPageDialog** - Display a native loading dialog when loading sub-pages. Format for the value is "Title, Message"
+4. **errorUrl** - Set the error page for your application. Should be located in your Android project in file://android_asset/www/
+5. **backgroundColor** - Set the background color for your application. Supports a four-byte hex value, with the first byte representing alpha value, and the following three bytes with standard RGB values. (i.e. 0x00000000 = Black)
+6. **loadUrlTimeoutValue** - How much time Cordova should wait before throwing a timeout error on the application.
+7. **keepRunning (boolean, defaults to true)** - Determines whether Cordova will keep running in the background or not
+8. **splashscreen** - The name of the file minus its extension in the res/drawable directory. If you have multiple assets, they all must share this common name in their respective directories.
+9. **disallowOverscroll (boolean, defaults to false)** - set to true if you want to disable the glow when a user scrolls beyond the edge of the webview.
+
+## <plugin>
+
+Android supports using <feature> as analogues to <plugin> elements.

+Project Settings
+================
+
+You can set various application configuration parameters using a platform-agnostic configuration file, `config.xml`.
+This file is based on the W3C [Packaged Web Apps (Widgets)](http://www.w3.org/TR/widgets/) specification.
+
+The location of the `config.xml` file is different depending on the platform. The contents, in general, are not.
+
+## Platform-Specific Properties
+
+As with any abstraction layer, Apache Cordova cannot be a perfect silver bullet. As such, some native and platform-specific
+properties, characteristics and behaviours are encapsulated as much as possible as `<preference>` elements inside the
+`config.xml` file. The following sub-sections linked to are guides which go into more details about these preferences.
+
+- Project Settings for iOS
+- Project Settings for Android
+- Project Settings for BlackBerry
+- Project Settings for Windows Phone 7
+- Project Settings for Windows Phone 8
+- Project Settings for Windows 8
+- Project Settings for webOS
+- Project Settings for Bada
+- Project Settings for FirefoxOS
+
+## config.xml Elements
+
+The [Apache Cordova](http://cordova.io) project strives abstract away native platform specifics via web-inspired and web-based
+abstractions that are heavily standards driven and adopted by the web community. Please take a few minutes to familiarize
+yourself with the [config.xml specification](http://www.w3.org/TR/widgets/), to understand the type of application metadata the
+Apache Cordova project aims to abstract and provide simple entry points for.
+
+An example:
+
+ <widget>
+ <preference name="MySetting" value="true" />
+ <plugins>
+ <plugin name="MyPlugin" value="MyPluginClass" />
+ </plugins>
+ <access origin="*" />
+ </widget>
+
+A list of supported elements across major platforms which are supported in Apache Cordova follow.
+
+### `<plugin>`
+
+These elements map to native APIs that the application will be able to access. At runtime, the Apache Cordova framework checks
+the `<plugin>` elements and maps them to native code to enable your Cordova application to access device APIs otherwise
+unavailable to typical web-based applications.
+
+### `<access>`
+
+These elements define how your whitelist works. Please see the Domain Whitelist Guide for more information.
+
+### `<content>`
+
+This element defines the start page of your application, relative to the project's standard web assets root folder. The default is "index.html".

+Project Settings for iOS
+========================
+
+The `config.xml` settings file controls various settings of Cordova. This is application wide, and not set per CDVViewController instance.
+The `config.xml` file is located in your `<project folder>/<appname>` directory.
+
+## <preference>
+
+Various preferences (as **<preference>** tags) default on not breaking existing apps. The available preferences are:
+
+1. **DisallowOverscroll (boolean, defaults to false)** - set to true if you don't want the WebView to rubber-band
+
+2. **TopActivityIndicator (string, defaults to 'gray')** - this is the top spinning throbber in the status/battery bar, valid values are "whiteLarge", "white" and "gray"
+
+3. **EnableLocation (boolean, defaults to false)** - set to true, to initialize the Geolocation plugin at start-up (so the fix on your location can be more accurate) **DEPRECATED**: please set the **onload** attribute of the **Geolocation** plugin to **true** instead.
+
+4. **EnableViewportScale (boolean, defaults to false)** - set to true to prevent viewport scaling through a meta tag
+
+5. **AutoHideSplashScreen (boolean, defaults to true)** - set to false to control when the splashscreen is hidden through a JavaScript API
+
+6. **FadeSplashScreen (boolean, defaults to true)** - set to false to prevent the splash-screen to fade in and out when showing/hiding it.
+
+7. **FadeSplashScreenDuration (float, defaults to 2)** - The splash-screen Fade duration in seconds.
+
+8. **ShowSplashScreenSpinner (boolean, defaults to true)** - set to false to hide the splash-screen spinner
+
+9. **MediaPlaybackRequiresUserAction (boolean, defaults to false)** - set to true to not allow autoplayed HTML5 video
+
+10. **AllowInlineMediaPlayback (boolean, defaults to false)** - set to true to allow inline HTML5 media playback, also, the video element in the HTML document must also include the webkit-playsinline attribute
+
+11. **BackupWebStorage (string, defaults to 'cloud')** - valid values are 'none', 'cloud' and 'local'. Set to 'cloud' to allow the web storage data to be backed up to iCloud, and set to 'local' to only allow local backups (iTunes sync). Set to 'none' to not allow any backups of web storage.
+
+12. **KeyboardDisplayRequiresUserAction (boolean, defaults to true)** - set to false to open the keyboard when form elements get focus via the JavaScript focus() call.
+
+13. **SuppressesIncrementalRendering (boolean, defaults to false)** - set to true to wait until all new view content has been received before it is rendered.
+
+14. **HideKeyboardFormAccessoryBar (boolean, defaults to false)** - set to true to hide the additional toolbar that is on top of the keyboard (this is the toolbar that has the Prev, Next and Done buttons)
+
+15. **KeyboardShrinksView (boolean, defaults to false)** - set to true to shrink the WebView when the keyboard comes up. The WebView shrinks instead of the viewport shrinking and the page scrollable. This applies to apps that position their elements relative to the bottom of the WebView. This is the default behaviour on Android, and makes a lot of sense when building apps as opposed to webpages.

+Upgrading Cordova BlackBerry
+============================
+
+This document describes the process of upgrading Cordova projects to the latest released version
+
+
+
+
+
+## Upgrading Cordova 2.7.0 projects to 2.8.0 ##
+
+### BlackBerry10 ###
+
+BlackBerry10 uses the new CLI tooling and manages core api's as plugins. The instructions migrate your project to a new project, rather than updating an existing project, due to the complexity of updating an old project.
+Also note that the cordova js script file is now called 'cordova.js' and no longer contains a version string.
+
+1. **Download and extract the Cordova 2.8.0 source** to a **permanent folder location** on your hard drive (say to ~/Cordova-2.8.0)
+2. **Quit any running IDE's** Eclipse, Momentics and the like.
+3. **Navigate** to the directory where you put the downloaded source above, using a unix like terminal: **Terminal.app**, **Bash**, **Cygwin**, etc.
+4. [**Create a new project**](guide_command-line_index.md.html#Command-Line%20Usage_blackberry) from the command-line tools - this will be the home of your updated project
+5. **Copy** your projects source from the old project's /www folder to the new project's /www folder
+6. **Update** the Cordova script reference in your **www/index.html** file (and any other files that contain the script reference) to point to the new **cordova.js** file
+
+### BlackBerryOS/Playbook ###
+
+1. **Download and extract the Cordova 2.8.0 source** to a **permanent folder location** on your hard drive (say to ~/Cordova-2.8.0)
+2. **Quit any running IDE's** Eclipse, Momentics and the like.
+3. **Navigate** to the directory where you put the downloaded source above, using a unix like terminal: **Terminal.app**, **Bash**, **Cygwin**, etc.
+4. [**Create a new project**](guide_command-line_index.md.html#Command-Line%20Usage_ios) from the command-line tools - you will have to grab the assets from this new project
+5. **Copy** the **www/cordova-2.7.0.js** file from the new project into your **www** folder, and delete your **www/cordova-2.6.0.js** file
+6. **Update** the Cordova script reference in your **www/index.html** file (and any other files that contain the script reference) to point to the new **cordova.js** file
+7. **Copy** the **native** folder from the new project into the existing project, overwriting the old **native** folder
+8. **Copy** the **lib** folder from the new project into the existing project, overwriting the old **lib** folder
+9. **Copy** the **cordova** folder from the new project into the existing project, overwriting the old **cordova** folder
+
+## Upgrading Cordova 2.6.0 projects to 2.7.0 ##

+5. **Copy** the **www/cordova-2.7.0.js** file from the new project into your **www** folder, and delete your **www/cordova-2.6.0.js** file
+6. **Update** the Cordova script reference in your **www/index.html** file (and any other files that contain the script reference) to point to the new **cordova-2.7.0.js** file
+7. **Copy** the **native** folder from the new project into the existing project, overwriting the old **native** folder
+8. **Copy** the **lib** folder from the new project into the existing project, overwriting the old **lib** folder
