title: How to use Ripple Emulator for Windows to test PhoneGap application?
body: <p><strong>Can Ripple emulator be used to test PhoneGap application under Windows?</strong></p>
  
  <p>Either I'm doing something really bad or Ripple is not working at all in such environment.</p>
  
  <p>I have installed Ripple Emulator extension for Chrome from Chrome Store. I navigated Chrome to my mobile app (served locally via XAMPP). I clicked Ripple icon next to Chrome omnibar and clicked <code>Enable</code> in opened window. I've selected proper platform (<code>Cordova 2.0</code>).</p>
  
  <p>My application was reloaded in mobile-like look, simulating mobile device. Ripple was unable to read my configuration from <code>config.xml</code> file, but that is a well known bug (reported <a href="https://github.com/blackberry/Ripple-UI/issues/743" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> and <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14832776/phonegap-ripple-emulator-always-reports-malformed-config-xml">here</a>). I hope, this is not an issue that prevents me from using Ripple at all?</p>
  
  <p>I've selected my device (<code>Samsung Nexus</code>) and begin to test my mobile device. Even first call to PhoneGap API has failed. I tried compass, but all I got was <code>Cannot call method 'watchHeading' of undefined</code>.</p>
  
  <p>How can basic PhoneGap object be undefined? What am I missing? Can I test PhoneGap application under Windows in Chrome with Ripple Emulator or amy I missing the entire idea for what Ripple is?</p>
  
  <p>I tried to help myself with Ripple documentation, but chapter "<a href="http://developer.blackberry.com/html5/documentation/getting_started_with_ripple_1866966_11.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Enable the Ripple emulator</a>" is a complete garbage. I don't have even a sign of <code>Start Ripple Services</code> option in Ripple icon (only <code>Enable</code> and <code>Disable</code>) and when I click <code>Enable</code> there is no sign of the license agreement, that I could review and accept. I'm getting the feeling that this doc talks about something completely different than I use.</p>
