Most platforms *do not* support the new whitelisting. As of right now, it's
Android 4.0.0, and iOS (4.0.x development branch).

If you're building a cross-platform app, there are a couple of options, but
they all come down to the fact that you need to use the old syntax for any
platforms other than Android.


1. Install the legacy plugin, and use the same syntax for everything
(easiest)

2. Install the new whitelist plugin, and have separate config.xml files for
each platform. This may or may not be feasible, depending on your build
system. You'll probably have to swap the config file out between builds of
different platforms (I can't remember off-hand if there's any syntax in
config.xml to have platform-dependent sections, but that would make this
easier.)

3. Install the new whitelist plugin, and use *both* syntaxes in config.xml.
The new plugin uses <access> tags for network requests, but not for
navigation, so you'd have to include <allow-navigation> tags as well, if
you have more than a single-page-app. You can include both kinds of tags,
though, and the platforms will happily just pick out the ones they
understand.
