cordova-plugin-except-aws-s3-from-ats

Cordova plugin that excepts access to S3 from App Transport Security (iOS9)

Background

iOS9 introduced strict transport security rules (ATS) which rejects the current S3 certificates. This blocks all access from Cordova based apps to AWS S3, e.g. won't load.

AWS recommends to except the S3 domain via the -Info.plist (link):

Recent changes, per Apple�s App Transport Security Technote, states using NSURLConnection, CFURL, or NSURLSession require TLS 1.2 and SHA256 (or > better) signed hash algorithms. S3 currently supports TLS 1.2. S3 endpoint certificates will continue to be based on SHA-1 until September 30th. We recommend specifying exceptions to the default ATS behavior by modifying the Info.plist file during the transition period. Later this year, when S3 SHA-256 certificates are deployed, we recommend testing and confirming your application works properly with the enabled ATS security settings.

All current apps will continue to function just fine. This applies specifically to those that are compiled with the new SDK, Xcode 7.

This plugin adds the required entry to -Info.plist.
