Domain whitelist for PhoneGap/Android app w/Google Maps

Question

I'm building a PhoneGap app, targeted for Android now, using Google Maps. If I only whitelist maps.googleapis.com, it doesn't work. The events object isn't there. If I whitelist all domains, it works.

I'd rather not allow access to all domains. What domains other than maps.googleapis.com do I need to allow access to?

Answer 1

The syntax depends on which version of PhoneGap you are using. See the relevant version of the documentation for details - eg. http://docs.phonegap.com/en/3.1.0/guide_appdev_whitelist_index.md.html

For version 3.1 or greater, the following works for me:

<access origin="*://*.googleapis.com/*" subdomains="true" />
<access origin="*://*.gstatic.com/*" subdomains="true" />
<access origin="*://*.google.com/*" subdomains="true" />
<access origin="*://*.googleusercontent.com/*" subdomains="true" />

Answer 2

According to this answer, you need to whitelist:

• *.google.com
• *.googleapis.com
• *.gstatic.com

Notice that answer was over a year old now so some of the domains might be outdated or missing. This should get you started though.
