Answer 1

additionally to the whitelisting, make sure the cors flag is true to enable cross origin resource sharing.

Answer 2

You should whitelist the domain in order for your AJAX calls to work.

Add this line to config file -:

<access origin="*" />

Phonegap's default policy blocks all network access unless specified otherwise. The above line will disable this security restriction. You can also be more specific in allowing only certain domains to bypass this security feature by including the domain name in the config file like so

<access origin="http://yourdomain" />

I had a localhost url as I was using Visual Studio. I resolved by editing the VS projects Applicationhost.config file and making a version of the binding protocol so that is it :port: not *:port:localhost, and then accessing via ip address. Make sure to get all references to the port.
