The xml manifest bug I was referring to was introduced in the release build of Cordova 3.4.0. Here is a sample of some of the confusion caused at the time: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/phonegap/ahzIwbUqr4A

Adobe apparently blindly tosses the current release build of Cordova into Phonegap without testing for bugs.

The existence of a bug was not hard to see: During the Android build process, one would see "ReferenceError: a is not defined" pop up multiple times.

I scoured google and even asked in #phonegap on freenode, and no one seemed to know what was going on yet. I found the cause of the bug by spending an hour poking through the source files. I then spent the rest of the day idling in #phonegap, explaining to the confused newcomers what they could do to fix their build. That was the first and last time I ever tried using Phonegap.



Thanks for the details!
