Building PhoneGap app for Windows Phone results in Cordova class not found error

Question

I'm doing

phonegap local build wp8

which finishes successfully and creates a CordovaAppProj_Debug_AnyCPU.xap . When I now try to run this on my Windows Phone device I'm getting a

Error initializing Cordova: Class not found

alert. Same when building from Visual Studio.

I could need some assistance with that, thanks!

Answer 1

I had a similar problem with a Cordova project.

The build of the app was successful:

cordova build wp8

However, the start of the app resulted in the same alert message.

I solved the problem by removing the windows phone 8 platform

cordova platforms rm wp8

and adding it again

cordova platforms add wp8

This might also work for your Phonegap problem.
