This comes from the cordova-plugin-whitelist , which is included in new Visual Studio Typescript projects by default. The values are inside plugins/cordova-plugin-whitelist/plugin.xml .
In theory, you can change the version number of cordova-ios in this file, but I couldn't get it to work, so I just completely removed the whitelist plugin.
Remove the plugin by removing it from the / plugins folder and removing the following from the config.xml project:
<!-- Support for Cordova 5.0.0 plugin system --> <plugin name="cordova-plugin-whitelist" version="1" />
