NB Security on phones

Your phone might not let you install non-market apps (”unknown sources”).How to allow this, depends on your Android version.It might be something you can control in the settings of your phone.

Only one private app at time

So you might have to delete your app, before uploading a new project.

The delete-function on build.phonegap can be hard to find:• Go into your app by clicking on

the title.• Choose “settings” in the

horizontal menu.• At the bottom, you will find a

“Danger Zone” with a delete button.
