WP8 platform on Cordova cannot run: CordovaBrowser_NavigationFailed

I already built the same application on iOS and Android, but now I'm trying to build it for Windows Phone 8. The problem is that when I attempt to run it on the emulator I get this error:

CordovaBrowser_NavigationFailed :: www/www/index.html

And the application doesn't run, it only displays a black screen.

I already updated Cordova to 5.0.0, and recreated the platform trice, but I still get the same error.

These are steps to reproduce the error:

  1. cordova platform add wp8
  2. open the VS Solution project project.sln
  3. run as Emulator 720p (or any one, I already tried everyone)

Or just run: cordova emulate wp8 and the emulator shows the splash-screen and then the black screen.

I'm on Windows 8 Enterprise and using Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 v12.0.31101.00 Update 4.

Solution

  • Cordova 5.0.0 hasn't been tested on VS 2013 Update 4. If you want to use 5.0, you should download VS 2015 RC and refer to Known Issues section for Cordova 5.0 . Thanks.
