Description

config.xml contains

<preference name="AppendUserAgent" value="something/version"/>

This is properly used for Android (cordova-android 5.1.1), but not with iOS+WKWebView (cordova-ios 4.1.1).

The cause is actually "documented": CDVUserAgentUtil:setUserAgent says that the default settings must be registered before the webview is actually instantiated. But, CDVViewController:viewDidLoad delays the call to setUserAgent until after the view has been created.

AFAIR this worked with the UIWebView.
