People are already getting surprised today that their apps do not connect to any network when they create an app that contains [email protected] because the whitelist plugin is not included by default. Why whitelist is not included by default? - the don't use the cordova-cli, the use cordova-android/bin/create (shell mode) - because they use their own templates, for example I created an app with my own template that has my config.xml that doesn't have whitelist plugin because I created the template in the [email protected] time frame. - people creating apps with other CLIs, for example ionic cli, whitelist plugin is not one of the default plugins added with their ionic templates, etc..
