Cordova Plugins in my iOS application only work after you open the app, close it by going back to the home screen, then reopening the app. Then a THREAD WARNING displays in the XCode log.

What is causing this? And if I really need to set all the plugins as background threads how do you set that?
I have added this param to my config.xml for ios to force the plugin to load on open but that doesn't seem to work.
<param name="onload" value="true" />
I simply do not get it. I have tried reinstalling the platform as a whole. Individually removing all the plugins and putting them back and I am still getting the same issue. Plugins will only work when the app gets backgrounded and then brought back up. Here is the code from the recent build to ios as I start the app. It appears that the plugins load as th is starts but then are not accessible.

I had same issue. Today I've found solution for my case.
The problem was with js2native bridge. Cordova has different methods to communicate with native library (bridge mode):
- XHR with, w/o or optional payload;
- iframe hash with or w/o payload;
- iframe nav.
In cordova.js you can find iOSExec function. For iOS (except iOS 5) bridge mode is set to IFRAME_NAV.
Previous developer made couple of mistakes when on project design phase - and one of them is that whole content is removed from when view changes. And cordova's too. So cordova gets some error loops and plugins is not working.
The solution is to force XHR bridge mode. I've inserted next code right in my deviceready callback:
cordova.exec.setJsToNativeBridgeMode(cordova.exec.jsToNativeModes.XHR_NO_PAYLOAD);
I hope this will help you. Good luck.
I had the same symptoms on cordova-ios 3.9.2 but my root cause was different from others listed here. Turns out it was a content security policy issue, gap://ready is required for the iframe cordova bridge.
If none of the other solutions work for you, look at your content security policy and make sure to add gap: to the frame-src part of your <meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" tag.
Note: Xcode doesn't show any clue to fix this error but safari debugging shows the error very clearly.
