If you don't know how to do that, simply go to your Chrome Extensions page, find Ripple, and disable or remove it.

Leaving it installed will conflict with the new Ripple. It is still very cool, but how you interact with it and PhoneGap has been changed.įirst and foremost - you must remove the Ripple Chrome extension if you have it installed. In this blog post, I'm going to describe how to use Ripple. Previously, Ripple was a Chrome extension and was managed by some folks from Blackberry. For the last few months, a new developer, Gord Tanner, has been working on an update to the Ripple project at Apache. Whether it be a Chrome issue or something different in PhoneGap, Ripple stopped working properly. Unfortunately, sometime around the PhoneGap 2.6 timeframe, something went wrong. While not as good as a real device, it was incredibly useful for development. Ripple included a UI that gave you a pseudo-mobile view of your application and a way to emulate various features including the camera and the accelerometer. Ripple was (is, see details) a Chrome extension that allows you to run PhoneGap/Cordova applications in the browser. Edit: As I find more things, I'll post them to the bottom of this blog post.įor folks who have seen me present on PhoneGap/Cordova, you know I'm a huge fan of Ripple.
