Solution

  • It helped me to create the project through the PhoneGap CLI and then just add the project in the Gui. That worked for me

    1. Install phonegap Cli with npm: npm install -g phonegap@latest
    2. Go to your project folder and create the project: phonegap create testproject
    3. Start the PhoneGap Desktop App and add the existing project
