Canned Message I need to blog this, so i don't have to repeat this answer again and again.

You cannot use Phonegap Desktop App with Phonegap Build.

Phonegap Desktop App uses Phonegap CLI, so if you want to use Phonegap Desktop App you need to stay with Phonegap CLI.

If you want to use Phonegap Build, then forget what you have done and start over OR make Minor modifications to move Phonegap Desktop App to Phonegap Build. To be clear, the difference is minor, but enough to keep tripping you.

Also, you will not be able to use Phonegap Developer App as that is meant to work with Phonegap Desktop App. You cannot use either CLI or Build with Developer App.

FWIW: I've been trying to get Phonegap to fix this. Here is the report on the issue.

Let me know what you want to do.

Okay. Sometimes the documentation for Phonegap suffers badly. The Desktop App is one case in point.

When you use Getting Started with Phonegap, the last step #5 reads:

There are two choices available for building and packaging your applications:

This means you can choose one or the other.

Unfortunately, the directions fail at this point.

The Fix

If you are creating with Phonegap Build, you are better off NOT using the CLI (Command Line Interface). With Phonegap Build, you are only required to have two (2) files - index.html and config.xml. In addition both files must sit in the same directory.

The blog explains better: An HTML Boilerplate for Phonegap

Make sure you follow link to the source code.

Lastly, if you plan on using Phonegap Build, abandon the workflow you have been shown and read the Phonegap Build Documentation<.a>.

I'm sure you have question. Let me know. Jesse
