What’s new in Cordova iOS 2.5.0

Mainly bug fixes.

1. New functionality for Plugins

Lots of enhancements, and one removal. See the Plugin Upgrade Guide. Of note, you can load plugins at startup now.

2. config.xml root element is <widget>

Shouldn’t affect your current config.xml since the config parsing doesn’t care about the root element name. There’ll be further changes to config.xml so we conform to the widget spec as we go along.

3. Better FileTransfer errors

Now you get the response body in the FileTransferError object returned.

4. Enable NSURLCache for better app performance

Set in the app template.

5. Added support for Native URIs (iOS’ assets-library:// scheme)

See CB-2213.
