We are happy to announce the minor version of Cordova iOS 4.3.0 has been released!

This release includes:

1. CocoaPods support in <framework> tags of plugins (static libraries only)
2. the --buildFlag option to send extra xcodebuild flags when building/running your app
3. Both Xcode 7 and Xcode 8 support (automatic code signing). Xcode 6 support has been dropped.
4. Support for the four new App Transport Security (ATS) keys introduced in iOS 10

Note: When updating iOS, make sure to save your plugins as current unsaved plugins may not be reinstalled otherwise. Run the following command in your project to save your currently installed plugins into config.xml:

cordova plugin save

To upgrade:

npm install -g cordova
cd my_project
cordova platform rm ios
cordova platform add ios@4.3.0

To add it explicitly:

cordova platform add ios@4.3.0
