Audit and Update Plugin JavaScript Files

[mwbrooks]

It looks as though some of the plugin JavaScript files bundled in connect-phonegap are not the same as those bundled in the phonegap-app-developer. It's important the the files are identical because it's plugins often update the JavaScript between versions.

Let's resync (e.g. copy from phonegap-app-developer) all of the files found in: /res/middleware/cordova

PhoneGap Developer App 1.0.0

• Android uses [email protected]
• iOS uses [email protected]
• WP8 uses [email protected]

In the PhoneGap Developer App, I checked out each platform's production tag, built the app, and copied the cordova.js, cordova_plugins.js, and plugins/**/*.js files into the resource directory.

I reviewed each file. For cordova.js, I kept a patch that fixed loading off the URL. This is required to properly run mobile-spec. For cordova_plugins.js, I kept the .metadata definition because it's handy and has no impact on functionality. The rest I reverted to become synchronized with the PhoneGap Developer App.

Both iOS and WP8 had incorrect files. Android matched correctly.

Tested on:

• Android Galaxy Nexus
• iOS iPhone 5
• WP8 Nokia 920

Cordova's deviceready event fires and basic APIs such as accelerometer, compass, and network function correctly.

However, some APIs such as battery status and File do not work on some platforms. The JavaScript platform updates don't appears to have caused the problem because the production version of connect-phonegap shows the same issues.

From what I understand, with content-sync these files are no longer needed. Filed #190 to remove these files in a future release.
