    I've recently ported myself over to Phonegap (just messing about at the moment) but intend using it to develop for my work.

    the IDEs and configs for Phone Gap were exhausting but I managed in the end.

    Ive come across PhoneGap Build..signed up..did a quick trial..seems ok...

    What peoples thoughts on this type of cloud based wrapper service??
    I kinda feel it's taking some of the good out of developing??

    No experience with the cloud wrapper but a word of caution:

    You are going to run into problems with PhoneGap once your UI starts to get a reasonable amount of nested elements in the DOM.

    It's not really their fault, its just that the web rendering engines on phones are obviously not on par with the native implementations.

    PhoneGap has caused many a developer sleepless nights trying to battle its limitations.

    It's impossible to tell anything without seeing some code/logs. Sounds like you have an infinite loop or a deadlock or something.
