Notes: PhoneGap/Cordova, Visual Studio 2013 Update 2, and Windows Phone 8.1

Based on observations made with PhoneGap/Cordova 3.4, Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 (RTM), and Windows Phone 8.1.

1. Projects generated via the PhoneGap or the Cordova CLI can run (unmodified) in emulators for Windows Phone 8.0 and Windows Phone 8.1
   • MSDN: App Platform Compability for Windows Phone 8
2. Windows Phone 8.0 projects must be re-targeted to Windows Phone 8.1 for script debugging within the Windows Phone 8.1 emulator
   • Blog Post: JavaScript/Native Interop Debugging in Visual Studio 2013
3. Projects generated via the PhoneGap or the Cordova CLI that are re-targeted to Windows Phone 8.1 are converted to Windows Phone Silverlight 8.1 projects
   • Windows Phone Silverlight 8.1 projects do not support script debugging in Visu
