I just used this fix and it works for me with Cordova 3.4.0. Note that I had to add the javascript after all of the Cordova javascript - including the plugins.

Heads up: iOS 8 beta 2 fixes the userAgent issue, so you no longer require this fix. Yippeeee!

Hi, newbie question here but would this trick also affect the way Phonegap/Cordova reports its browser user agent when making external HTTP requests?

If yes, then this is a much simpler way than these suggestions:

change-phonegap-user-agent (@Stackoverflow, for IOS)

&

change-phonegap-cordova-user-agent-for-ajax (@Stackoverflow, for Android)

Of course, I do realise I could just test it out ;-)
