Cross-domain requests using PhoneGap and jQuery doesn't work

Question

I\'m creating a PhoneGap app for Android. To get data from the (remote) server I make a REST call using jQuery\'s $.ajax() function. There are a few things you must know:

Answer 1

you need to whitelist your external domains. just go to your phonegap / cordova plist file in xcode and add a new entry, have it's value be * and you can access any website out there.

also know that this WILL NOT WORK IN A BROWSER. Browsers have crossdomain issues, not phonegap or mobile devices.
