Hi, I'm not sure why the apk does not work. I ran it fine on the simulator. It could be a compatibility issue with your device (which is it ?) If the screens stays on wikis and tools it means initialization has failed, but it could be many things (failed to load translations, failed to load cordova, etc..)
The easiest way to run the application is to run it on a local browser. IE and Safari I think can run it fine. Firefox and Chrome will block on ajax requests because of security issues. To fix this you can use: 1/ put the code behind a web server 2/ Use the Firefox CORS extension to force CORS headers which will allow cross domain requests I usually develop on Safari (on Mac) as it can run the code as is.
