> Cordova breaking iOS plugins

> Key: CB-560
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-560
> Project: Apache Callback
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: CordovaJS
> Affects Versions: 1.6.1
> Environment: From
> https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/phonegap/2G5OPKV_FdQ
> someone apparently tried upgrading from PhoneGap 1.1 to 1.6.

> Original Estimate: 4h
> Remaining Estimate: 4h

> From 1.4 to 1.5, the namespace was changed from PhoneGap to Cordova which was
> breaking all of the existing plugins. I eventually provided a shim class but
> it was too late to stop the pain. Then in Javascript only Cordova was changed
> to cordova, breaking the iOS plugins yet again. I noticed in cordova (1.6.0)
> JS:
> if (!window.PhoneGap) {
> window.PhoneGap = cordova;
> }
> This should have been done for Cordova like:
> if (!Cordova) {
> Cordova = cordova;
> }
> Yes we should be deprecating the old namespaces for removal in another major
> release. Any API changes made before a major release should be made with a
> workaround, to be deprecated, and tested with some plugins before shipping.
