cordova 2.9.x iOS 8 userAgent bug - ios

Question

I am using Cordova 2.9.0 with phonegap to build an iOS app.
With iOS 8, I am getting error messages of
Deprecated attempt to access property 'geolocation' on a non-Navigator object.
Deprecated attempt to access property 'userAgent' on a non-Navigator object
I tried EddyVerbruggen's solution
https://gist.github.com/EddyVerbruggen/cd02c73162180793513e
But, I am getting those error messages from Cordova
Also, when my application loads completely, I have no problem using
window.navigator.userAgent

Answer 1

Fist of all, it seems just a warning and the apps work fine.
They have been fixed this and I suposse it will be available soon, but for people using cordova 2.9.X, we have to change the replaceNavigator function to be like this on the cordova.js file (the whole else is new)
function replaceNavigator(origNavigator) {
var CordovaNavigator = function() {};
CordovaNavigator.prototype = origNavigator;
var newNavigator = new CordovaNavigator();
// This work-around really only applies to new APIs that are newer than Function.bind.
// Without it, APIs such as getGamepads() break.
if (CordovaNavigator.bind) {
for (var key in origNavigator) {
if (typeof origNavigator[key] == 'function') {
newNavigator[key] = origNavigator[key].bind(origNavigator);
} else {
(function(k) {
Object.defineProperty(newNavigator, k, {
get: function() {
return origNavigator[k];
},
configurable: true,
enumerable: true
});
})(key);
}
}
}
return newNavigator;
}
