PhoneGap Android app is crashing after adding urbanairship to config.xml

Question

I have an android app which is built using phoneGap. We want to add push notification to our app and we decided to try urbanairship.

I am currently stuck with an issue where my mobile is crashing when launching the application after I add the following to my phonegap config:

<!-- Urban Airship plugin for Push notifications -->
<gap:plugin name="com.urbanairship.phonegap.pushnotification" version="2.7.0" />
<preference name="com.urbanairship.production_app_key" value="***" />
<preference name="com.urbanairship.production_app_secret" value="***" />
<preference name="com.urbanairship.development_app_key" value="***" />
<preference name="com.urbanairship.development_app_secret" value="***" />
<preference name="com.urbanairship.enable_push_onlaunch" value="true" />
<preference name="com.urbanairship.in_production" value="false" />
<preference name="com.urbanairship.gcm_sender" value="***" />

I followed this documentation: http://docs.urbanairship.com/platform/phonegap.html

There is no build error on PhoneGap. I am running Android 4.3 and the current version of Phonegap is 3.7.0. I would appreciate if you could make some suggestions of what could be wrong here.

Without any logs its impossible to tell. You are using an older version of the plugin with an older version of PhoneGap. Are you able to upgrade to a newer PhoneGap 5 with PhoneGap Android 4? If so you can use the latest version of the plugin here - https://github.com/urbanairship/phonegap-ua-push
