I have a simple Phonegap Build application where I am trying to use the device plugin. I have installed the plugin via command line and have confirmed that it is installed.

I have the following js inside onDeviceReady:

alert(device.platform); and alert(device.model);

I get white screen with no alerts.

Chrome dev tools remote inspect console says: Uncaught ReferenceError: platform is not defined

The plugin is not being recognized.

  Can we get a snippet of the code? is device defined (console.log(device))?
