step 1
https://speeltuin.nl/thewayback/
update the code and compile with Phonegap Build – submit you IPA
step 2
get an annoying e-mail:
Dear Developer,
We identified one or more issues with a recent delivery for your app, “The Way Back”. Please correct the following issues, then upload again.
“Missing Purpose String in Info.plist File. Your app’s code references one or more APIs that access sensitive user data. The app’s Info.plist file should contain a NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription key with a user-facing purpose string explaining clearly and completely why your app needs the data. Starting spring 2019, all apps submitted to the App Store that access user data will be required to include a purpose string.If you’re using external libraries or SDKs, they may reference APIs that require a purpose string. While your app might not use these APIs, a purpose string is still required. You can contact the developer of the library or SDK and request they release a version of their code that doesn’t contain the APIs. Learn more (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/core_app/protecting_the_user_s_privacy).”

step 3a
try to find a solution, like
https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-geolocation/issues/142
step 3b
Check if *-Info.plist actually changed and keep on seaching and trying.
step 4
figure out the real solution:
<config-file platform=”ios” parent=”NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription” target=”*-Info.plist” mode=”overwrite”>
<string>Allow GPS to find the Way Back</string>
</config-file>
<config-file platform=”ios” parent=”NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription” target=”*-Info.plist” mode=”overwrite”>
<string>Allow GPS to find the Way Back</string>
</config-file>
That’s all folks!
