> Cordova's user agent management for iOS employs a scheme of setting a baseline "original" user agent, which by default conforms to the standard user agent a UIWebView would expose, and then optionally appending CDVViewController-specific data to it in the appropriate use cases, to manage whitelisting.
> Cordova shouldn't really care too much about the data that the original user agent exposes.  I.e. it should be able to be overridden by a consumer, so that the consumer can supply its own user agent data.  This is not technically possible with the current implementation of the CDVUserAgentUtil class, since it does not exist as a member of any instance class; it's truly static/global, so inheritance doesn't come into play.
> Even if an instance of CDVuserAgentUtil could be made a property of CDVViewController, or something else, it would be kind of weird for a consumer to inherit from what's essentially a static class, just to configure their own user agent data.
> There should be another mechanism for users to override the original user agent configuration.
