Here are my two cents, and I'm aware of the situation. publish a new version of cordova-plugin-whitelist that only contains the android code and only supports android platform (means to remove any ios code from the plugin)
Currently the plugin is public and published on npm as latest, and it states in the README: - Android 4.0.0 or above - iOS 4.0.0 or above Guess what iOS 4.0.0 is it doesn't exist, it's not out, it's not born yet. I guess you get the picture. The day that cordova-ios@4.0.0 get's published to npm is the day that it exist, then is valid to published plugins that depend on that version of the platform. The day we published cordova-ios@4.0.0 to npm, on the same day we publish cordova-plugin-whitelist that has code for ios and depends on cordova-ios@4.0.0 In general to my eyes we should NOT published plugins that depends (i.e. engines) depend on a version of a component that it's not born yet.
