Build to Android device

[John Leger]

In simulator app works perfectly.
When I build in cloud to Android, the app takes a real long time to unpack I see my splash screen appear then disappear to black and no app shows up.

The debug.log file has this content in it... please help! :)

Here is the output from build console....

I have set up with success my Apple mordor stuff with success for development for the time being.
I built to my Android device and to my iPad device both with success. 
Here is the messages in the debug.log file
The first message warning is from Android. The second is from iPad. 
[1127/064437:WARNING:resource_bundle.cc(303)] locale_file_path.empty()

Remote debugging through Weinre is returning a warning that the AppId is invalid.

Hello John,

These errors seem to be from Weinre which uses the Chromium Embedded Framework. jsHybugger would be a better option for remote debugging as it comes as Cordova plugin and allows you to set breakpoints to debug. If the problem was AppID, iOS would have been the only affected platform, as Android isn't really picky about it.

The problem was finally isolated using remote debugging tools. Specifically jshybugger. The errors were coming from requireJS. They would not occur inside the Simulator. We used the unminified version of requireJS and were able to pinpoint where the exceptions were occuring and fixed them.
