Question

While experienced with phonegap and xcode, I\'m new to android. I have installed phonegap 3.0 ...

phonegap --version
3.0.0-0.14.3
         


        

Answer 1

Make sure you have the latest version:

• PhoneGap: sudo npm update -g phonegap
• Android SDK: depending on how you installed it, if you did it through brew: brew update android-sdk

Then run aandroid, and download the latest API.

Then PhoneGap will use the latest API by default when running phonegap build android.

If you need to update a current project, run inside the project folder:

phonegap platform update android

And now if you run build again, it should use the latest version.
