Cordova: is there anyway to detect in Javascript whether an iOS app is built as debug or release?
I'm working on a Cordova iOS app where it would be very helpful for me to be able to detect if the app was built using a debug or release configuration. Specifically, I want to be able to detect if the app is being run on a device through Xcode (built using the debug configuration) or is being run on a device through ad hoc or app store distribution (built using the release configuration).
Normally in a native app I could just use
#ifdef DEBUG
but it's a Cordova app so I need some way to do it in Javascript.
I'm aware I could write a Cordova plug-in from scratch to do this, but I'm hoping there's an easier way, or that perhaps someone already wrote such a plug-in.

Take a look at this plugin. It should provide the information you need:
cordova.plugins.DeviceMeta.getDeviceMeta(function(result){
// result.debug - Whether App is in debug mode
});
