Phonegap无法将示例应用程序安装到android模拟器上

Question

I've been trying to install a helloworld app onto android 4.3 emulator with the command "phonegap run android". It was built successfully. I believe the error occurred during the installation. I've been trying to fix it for hours with no luck. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

PS: I'm using Mac. The OS version is 10.7.5.

Below is the error:

EMFILE is error when you try to open more file descriptors than your system supports. File descriptor is an indicator for accessing a file. Generally the limit is 256 on OSX. The easiest solution is to increase the limit by doing ulimit -n 10480 . But this solution would only be for your current session of terminal. The permanent approach would to put this into your shell profile ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc , but it is not the recommended approach as it might cause some system issues.
