Hello, I've been trying to fix this problem for 2 days but I am always blocked..

I am developing a hybrid app for Android/iOS. I use Sencha Touch 2.2b and compile the project on PhoneGap build.

I installed a local weinre server on my PC which is in the same LAN of my iPad.

Here's my parameters :

weinre server's ip :

192.168.10.224

with port 8081 because wampp occupied the 8080.

in the config.xml, (I use phonegap 2.5.0)

	<access origin="http://192.168.10.224:8081" subdomains="true" />    
	<preference name="load-url-timeout" value="60000" />

The project contains 2 pages html :

main : an empty page who load index.html (I tried this in order to minimize page loading-time, learnt from another post)

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">       
<html class="ui-mobile-rendering">
    <head>
        <title></title>
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<script src="http://192.168.10.224:8081/target/target-script-min.js#anonymous"></script>       
	   <script>
            window.location='./index.html';
        </script>
    <body>        
    </body>
</html>

and in "index.html" I've included phonegap.js as well as

 <script src="http://192.168.10.224:8081/target/target-script-min.js#anonymous"></script>

Everything seems correct, but when I launch my app, the target list is empty...

I made several tests who may help figure out the problem :

the iPad and PC are both connected to the same LAN by wifi
I checked the PC's firewall, added my iPad ip on the list of authorisation
From Safari on iPad, I can connect to

http://192.168.10.224:8081/

The demo website works fine on my iPad : the target list contains my iPad's IP.
If I test my own website from PC's Chrome, weinre detects my PC.

Only when I compile my website and install it on iPad, weinre detects nothing.

I don't have a Mac and my hybrid app has some mysterious bugs that I can't fix without console logs.. weinre is a super tool but I'm sad that I can't set it work..

All help is welcome, thanks in advance. ^_^

More information: I activate the debug option on PhoneGap build, but nothing is detected.

I guess I might have missed some important configurations. But I can't see where it is.

Does anyone has a demo project with a full set of configurations (html, config.xml, etc) and share it ? I read many times the official tutorial, but I find it not complete enough for someone (like me) unfamiliar with network settings.

As the online debug tool of PhoneGap build, I'm a bit disappointed : the site is from time to time "temporarily inaccessible"; as there're few configurations for users, when I followed the guide and it doesn't work, I feel helpless

All what I want is just to read the log info of iPad from Windows (Mac is not affordable for the moment), no matter from a local server or online debug tool.

Thx

Did you set up your whitelist correctly?

http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.5.0/guide_whitelist_index.md.html#Domain%20Whitelist%20Guide

It's going to be very difficult for you to completely develop your app without a Mac. One thing you are missing with the latest versions of iOS is the actual debugger from Apple which I assume everyone else is using instead of weinre (for iOS anyway).

Can you use weinre with the Android version of your app?

For the whitelist, I thought I did it correctly, after reading the guide specific to PhoneGap build who suggests :

        <access origin="http://192.168.10.224:8081" subdomains="true" />

However, I'm not sure whether it works for iOS as it has the same syntax for Android PhoneGap.

My app works fine on Android side. I can read synchronous log, ressources, etc. It's fantastic ! But on iOS side... snif

Any suggestions besides buying a Mac for its console ? Thanks :-)

Since I suspect most people on iOS >= 6 are using the Apple-provided debug facilities, perhaps there's something that's leaked into recent iOS Safari versions that breaks weinre.

As I said before, it's going to be very difficult for you to completely develop your app without a Mac.
