URLs are not properly escaped!

[Pigsnuck]

After quite a bit of digging, I found out why cordova-plugin-wkwebkit-file-xhr is not correctly loading Mapbox GL JS URLs, even when the following preference is set in config.xml.

<preference name="InterceptRemoteRequests" value="all" />

The following error is displayed any time I want to get a MapBox URL:

ERROR: {"message":"Bad Request"}

The reason is simple (but hard to find!): URLs are not being correctly escaped! The fix is even simpler.

Replace line 339 in platforms/iOS/[Project Name]/Plugins/CDVWKWebViewFileXhr.m from this:

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlString];

To this:

NSURL *url;
if ([urlString rangeOfString:@"%"].location == NSNotFound) {
    url = [NSURL URLWithString:[urlString stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
} else {
    url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlString];
}

I haven't bothered to create a pull request, as Oracle have stated they will not accept them. You will have to apply this patch manually.

Update: I created a fork with my fix. You can use that in your Cordova project if you prefer.
