The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document in Windows Phone 8.1 phonegap apps

Question

I'm currently developing Windows Phone 8.1 app using Phonegap/Cordova plugins and Windows Runtime Component.

When I put breakpoints and start to debug on Runtime Component in VS 2013 Community Edition I got this message

The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document

I'm debugging on my Windows Phone 8.1 device (not Emulator).

Also I have set the Debugger type to Managed and Debugger Launcher to device, but no luck

I think you asked the same question in MSDN forum.

We cannot directly debug the windows runtime component project in Cordova project at least for now. It's a little complicated.

As a workaround, we can use the generated winjs project to debug the windows runtime component project. Please check my latest reply in the same MSDN question .

If anyone else want to the same in Visual Studio 2015, to find the winjs solution, go to "\\platforms\\windows".
