Updating your Apache Cordova app to work with iOS 9 comes with some confusion. We found that we weren't able to make remote requests to API end points that we needed to. To ensure this would work we needed to add the following code to the platforms/ios/[AppName]/appname-Info.plist file.

appname-Info.plist

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
  <key>NSExceptionDomains</key>
  <dict>
    <key>ReplaceWithYourDomanName.com</key>
    <dict>
      <key>NSIncludesSubdomains</key>
      <true/>
      <key>NSTemporaryExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads</key>
      <true/>
      <key>NSTemporaryExceptionRequiresForwardSecrecy</key>
      <false/>
      <key>NSTemporaryExceptionMinimumTLSVersion</key>
      <string>TLSv1.0</string>
    </dict>
  </dict>
