I'm new to mobile development. I'm using Phonegap/Cordova to create a cross-platform app. My code works well on Android but when I'm porting it to iPhone it's showing an error:

[143:2003] ERROR whitelist rejection: url="abc"

Now can I overcome this problem?

Notice: This answer only applies for PhoneGap version 1.x and below. From version 2.x onwards, whitelist configuration is done via cordova.xml.

You have to add allowed URLs into PhoneGap.plist's (or Cordova.plist) ExternalHosts array.

For example, if you want to allow access to this URL http://www.myhost.com/path/file, then add www.myhost.com as a new entry to ExternalHosts array.

If you want to allow access to content on all the subdomain of Google (e.g. maps.google.com, mails.google.com), you can add *.google.com as a new entry to ExternalHosts array.

I am not sure why you get "abc" in the link, though. Do you have "abc" as a link to anything? Is it URI fragment?
