I'm creating a simple cross-platform app using Phonegap-CLI (v5.4.0) and Phonegap-developer-app (Android and iOS, both are up to date). In my app I'm trying to call a REST-Interface I implemented, I use jQuery AJAX to do so. Unfortunately those calls seem not to work, I don't see any incoming calls in my console. (REST-Interface is running locally on my machine.) However, I do know that my REST-Interface works fine, because I can call the REST-Interface correctly using the IntelliJ-testing-tool.
My index.html looks like this:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="default-src *; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval'">
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no" />
<meta name="msapplication-tap-highlight" content="no" />

<meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=no, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, minimum-scale=1, width=device-width, height=device-height, target-densitydpi=device-dpi" />

</head>
<body class="noscroll">
<div class="app">

<div class="row fullWidth" style="height:70px;">
<div class="col-xs-1"></div>
<div class="col-xs-10"><button id="logInBtn" class="fillParent emphSmall">Login</button></div>
<div class="col-xs-1"></div>
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="cordova.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/index.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/customFunctions.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.addEventListener("deviceready", function(){
$("#logInBtn").on("click", function (){
alert("beginning ajax call");
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
cache: false,
Accept: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
url: "http://<ip>:8080/myApp/rest/Something",
success: function(){
alert("works!")
},
error: function(){
alert("doesn't work!");
}
});
});
}, true);
/*app.initialize();*/
</script>
</body>
</html>
And this is how my config.xml looks like. It's the default file that was generated while creating the project:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<widget id="my.app.identifier" version="1.0.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:gap="http://phonegap.com/ns/1.0">
<name>hibou</name>
<description>
Hello World sample application that responds to the deviceready event.

With the above setup, i always get the "beginning" and "doesn't work"-alert. But since the AJAX-call works fine when I'm including it into some non-phonegap HTML-document and the call from my app doesn't even reach my REST-Interface, I'm assuming that it might be some problem with the phonegap-whitelist-plugin, but as you can see, it's already included into the config.xml and the <access origin="*" /> tag should also permit all network connections. I already checked the Security-Policy meta-tag, but as far as I know, that shouldn't cause this problem either. After all, I don't know what could otherwise cause this error, so I'd really appreciate some help or a hint what I could miss here... Thank you very much!
Problem solved
My problem had nothing to do with the configuration of phonegap or any plugin. After reinstalling my application server some time ago, I simply forgot to configure it to listen to all ip-adresses. Now everything works just fine.
