how to install a windows phone 10 app from phonegap build

  • Question
  • Updated 4 years ago
I have an app compiled with PhoneGap Build version cli-5.2.0.
This app works fine with iOS and Android.
I have compiled it for winphone but i don't find any doc to see how to install it on the lumia 650 (Windows phone 10 1511).
If i try to read the QR code, the '.apk' is downloaded!
Thanks for your help,
Serge

What is a localized theme?
Where can i find a doc for this?
What means :

Build apparently also needs a theme for the default language.

Thanks

@Serge,
I don't use Dreamweaver. I don't know if Petra uses such a tool.

However, for Phonegap Build you only need two (2) files - index.html and config.xml.

This tutorial explain it:

@Jesse,

Yes I know and for your information the same application, the same "www" directory works since years with iOS and Android.

Over the years, PGB has seen many changes. Plugins have seen many changes.
What worked a year ago must not necessarily still work today.

The fact that you mention some /www directory at all makes me think something is wrong in your input, since PGB doesn't require such directory.
If your zip file is available online somewhere, please post its url and I'll be happy to have a look.

Yes I agree.
But at least for paid customer we can expect to have more explanations to understand what is wrong!
For your information it's Petra who told me to use "cli.6.0", there is nothing on your web site when you upload a zip to tell you this new version is available.
And i don't speak about the poor quality of the docs...

Forget about Adobe providing such service. They don't.
I added a phrase to my previous post. Could you please see again?

@Serge,
You statetd:
Yes I agree.

You are under some type of illusion. This is an Open Source project. The build service that Adobe/Phonegap provides is just that a "build service" - nothing more.

This FAQ should help. Read the bold sentences.

Please answer Petra's question.

Thanks for this, Serge.
Unfortunately, I can't find anything unusual. It all seems correct to me.

So, all I can suggest is try and build without the AR/theme and see what happens. Somehow, the error message points into that direction, so I'm afraid it's going to be a bit of trial-and-error to get this right.
