Answer 1

After upgrading to Phonegap Desktop 0.3.6, I had a similar issue and one of my older apps was stuck on the splash screen. In the configuration window, it was showing the correct app name and version and it was updating as soon as I was modifying the config.xml. In the console I had only one error: 500 for http://localhost:3000/cordova_plugins.js

A new app was working fine.

I tried all the above:

• splash screen plugin and configuration
• adding the cordova.js and cordova_plugins.js to index.html. This is not necessary anymore since many versions ago - the build does it for you.
• in the platforms/android/assets/www folder there were cordova.js and cordova_plugins.jsfiles present
• in the config.xml there was specified

In the end what solved my problem was to completely delete the platforms folder and run cordova platform add android again. I guess it's safe to do this after each Phonegap upgrade.
