Solution

  • Use Visual studio 2010 or Visual studio 2013. im not sure about angular havent used it before, but it seems like js library so i dont see why you cant use it.

    for installing phonegap on visual studio 2010 windows 7 os

    make sure you have installed visual studio 2010 sp1.

    Download windows phone emulator sdk 7. from http://www.microsoft.com/en-za/download/details.aspx?id=27570

    download phonegap files from phonegap.com

    after downloading open the phonegap files go to lib/windows phone and run createtemplates windows batchfile and it will create two zip files. copy the cordova 7 zip file to documents/visual studio 2010/Templates/ projects Templates.

    then run vs 2010 new project You should be able to see the template Cordova wp7, if not search it on your right hand searchbar. and create new project. Wola thats it.

    Note- not sure how to add plugins if someone knows please add comment
