>             Project: Apache Cordova
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: CordovaJS
>    Affects Versions: 1.4.0
>         Environment: Both PhoneGap SDK and PhoneGap Build

> There needs to be a property in PhoneGap that returns the root path to the general files added to the PhoneGap project (i.e. the directory index.html is in).  For example, if I add 'music.mp3' to my project, in Android it will be located in:
> /android_asset/www/music.mp3
> On iOS after being built with PhoneGap Build it will be located in some path like this:
> /var/mobile/Applications/<app_ID>/<name>.app/www/music.mp3
> However, there does not appear to be a programmatic way to determine both <app_ID> and <name>.app.
> This has two side effects:
> 1. Paths to audio for Media must be hard-coded separately depending on the platform, which is inconvenient.
> 2. Paths to audio for Media cannot be known if developing a framework that uses PhoneGap.  Since a framework does not know the App ID or name in advance, it's impossible for the framework to determine the correct path.
> This is actively blocking audio from working on iOS in PhoneGap projects exported by Construct 2 (www.scirra.com), a HTML5 game creator.  Also, it seems like kind of an important function to make available anyway, since hard-coding paths for each platform is a pain.
> This PhoneGap Support thread led to this issue: http://phonegap.tenderapp.com/discussions/questions/208-android_asset-equivalent-for-ios
