I opened ticket CB-10631 regarding the "Device" plugin that didn't work when I built my app for iOS 5.1.1. I was asked by user jcesarmobile to send an email to discuss.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-10631 Basically I submitted a patch to allow the plugin to work with iOS 5.1.1. You can see in my description what I've done and how it works using Cordova 5.4.1. I'm not suggesting the Cordova project support iOS 5.1.1, but the question is whether the project should explicitly reject code that is used to make a plugin backward compatible. I have an app on the app store that uses Cordova 5.4.1, compiled using Xcode 6.4, with the patch that I submitted for this plugin, and it works fine on iPad 1 on 5.1.1, iPad 2 on iOS 7 and iPad Air on iOS 8. *Thomas Allen* ceo | agilelaw <http://t.sidekickopen41.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XYg63BfN4VQZcG02BF-CKW7dKLV856dVZ5f7rsvGK02?t=http%3A%2F%2Fagilelaw.com%2F&si=6504882442338304&pi=0c8e6479-f1c1-4706-9027-f239475c05c9> | address <http://t.sidekickopen41.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XYg63BfN4VQZcG02BF-CKW7dKLV856dVZ5f7rsvGK02?t=http%3A%2F%2Fgoo.gl%2Fmaps%2FUzxyg&si=6504882442338304&pi=0c8e6479-f1c1-4706-9027-f239475c05c9> o 512.348.6525 x101 m 512.587.3692 facebook <http://www.facebook.com/agilelaw> | twitter <http://t.sidekickopen41.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XYg63BfN4VQZcG02BF-CKW7dKLV856dVZ5f7rsvGK02?t=http%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2F%23!%2Fagilelaw&si=6504882442338304&pi=0c8e6479-f1c1-4706-9027-f239475c05c9> | linkedin <http://t.sidekickopen41.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XYg63BfN4VQZcG02BF-CKW7dKLV856dVZ5f7rsvGK02?t=http%3A%2F%2Flinkedin.com%2Fcompany%2Fagilelaw&si=6504882442338304&pi=0c8e6479-f1c1-4706-9027-f239475c05c9>
