html5 cordova app build for Windows Phone 8 platform cannot access network

I have built my hybrid html5 app using jquery mobile and apache cordova and used the phonegap build online service.

Then I deployed it to a Windows Phone 8 using Microsoft Deployment Tool and everything worked great. The app was able to access remote server using $.ajax function of jquery. Then I deployed my app to the Windows Phone Store and discovered that Windows Store version doesn't work correctly: it seems network connection is not allowed for the downloaded app.

After some research I found additional setting to be done in the AppManifest.xml file of the .xap file generated by PhoneGap build: Add Capability ID_CAP_NETWORKING tag

After that I uploaded the application again to the Windows Store but still have the same issue. Does anybody have the same problems? Any help will be highly appreciated!

The solution for this issue is simply to add the ID_CAP_NETWORKING to the AppManifest file. Another possible solution is to add 

<feature name="http://api.phonegap.com/1.0/network"/>

to a config.xml file as described here: Problem deploying through Windows Store
