Description

Running my app on 8.1 or Windows Phone 8.1, compiled for platform Windows, lead to a problem accessing remote javascript.

Javascript console report
APPHOST9601: Can’t load <https://my.remote.url/here>. An app can’t load remote web content in the local context.

Putting

<preference name="windows-target-version" value="8.1" />
<preference name="windows-phone-target-version" value="8.1" />
<preference name="WindowsDefaultUriPrefix" value="ms-appx-web://" />

in config.xml doesn't help, since this information is not placed in appxmanifest

I'm not able to use my app compiled using this configuration, while compiled for platform wp8 (deprecated) is still ok.
