Description

Recently, a bug was discovered in Android that causes Ice Cream Sandwich apps to crash when the orientation changes. This is not a bug with Apache Cordova, but instead an issue with Android's SDK.

Regardless, bowserj has solved this problem with an update to the AndroidManifest.xml. The update will be included in the Apache Cordova 2.1.0 distribution, but that does not help 2.0.0 users.

Please add a documentation note to the Android Getting Started Guide on how to update the AndroidManifest.xml to avoid this issue.
