Hi;
while tyring to port to cli5.2.0 from pgb3.7.0 I have noticed that my app cannot make any network connections to the backend data server.
any idea what I am doing wrong? i assume I am missing something.
thanks,

You're probably missing the new whitelist plugin and the new whitelist formats.
See Ryan's notes on how to upgrade from 3.7.0

yeah I figured its something like that.
whats the incentive though? 3.7.0 allows connections to everything and cli5.2.0 does not?
this is a bit strange... my ios9 device and android 5 certainly don't care about this. they work with pgb 3.7.0 great. so why does pgb needs to revert this?

The new format allows for more restrictive access authorization. There are more options to fine-tune, also due to the use of a plugin for whitelisting, instead of letting core Phonegap handle it.
This change was certainly not intended to do your iOS9 device and your Android 5 device a favor, but rather to enable developers to restrict access by apps in a way as required for the functionality.
Many developers used to have "access origin=*" specified. The current change may look complicated and unnecessary to them, but then again, such developers obviously shrug, and don't [want to] care about any form of access restriction.
