To create a Settings bundle that will work without having to muck in platforms/ios/, create a local plugin in your project.

./src/ios/plugin.xml

    Application Settings
    My Application's Default Settings
    Proprietary
    preferences, settings, default
    https://github.com/

        
        
    

In Xcode, open ./src/ios, and create a new Settings.bundle

./src/ios/Settings.bundle/Root.plist

    PreferenceSpecifiers
    
        
            Title
            API Server
            Type
            PSGroupSpecifier
        
        
            AutocapitalizationType
            None
            AutocorrectionType
            No
            DefaultValue
            https://api.example.com
            IsSecure
            
            Key
            name_preference
            KeyboardType
            Alphabet
            Type
            PSTextFieldSpecifier
        
    
    StringsTable
    Root

At the root of your project, run cordova plugin add ./src/ios. It will say Installing "com.dataonline.dolores.settings" for ios.

Use me.apla.cordova.app-preferences to load those settings from Javascript.

./src/client/preferences.js

function ApplicationPreferences(){
    var _this = this;
    this.server = window.location.origin;
    document.addEventListener('deviceready', function(){
        function loaded(server){_this.server = server;}
        plugins.appPreferences.fetch(loaded, function(){}, 'api_server');
    });
};

applicationPreferences = new ApplicationPreferences();
// Later..
$.get(applicationPreferences.server + "/api/data");
