How to add NSAppTransportSecurity to Cordova project

Question

I'm working on a ionic cordova project. That application needs to be onfigured App Transport Security Exceptions for iOS 9 version.

Does anyone know how to add below configuration to the cordova project configuration file? (config.xml)

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
  <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
      <true/>
</dict>

The easiest solution is probably by using a plugin. Take a look at cordova-plugin-transport-security

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-transport-security --save

You can see in its plugin.xml file how it modifies the plist value.

<platform name="ios">
  <config-file target="*-Info.plist" parent="NSAppTransportSecurity">
      <dict>
          <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
          <true/>
      </dict>
  </config-file>
</platform>
