XDK built app not working

Question

I searched a lot, but I couldn't find an answer. I use Intel XDK for Cordova/Phonegap development.

Everything is ok (emulate tabs, debug, etc.). I went to Build tab and get my .apk, moved it to SD card and installed, but, it doesn't work when run.

If I build my source with Phonegap Build (Online), everything works fine.

My JS code:

<script type="text/javascript">

    document.addEventListener("backbutton", function(){ return; }, true);
    document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
    function onDeviceReady() 
    {
        //navigator.splashscreen.hide();
        var server = 'http://xxxxxx/index.php?';
        var user_uuid = device.uuid;
        $( document ).ready
        (
            function()
            {
                $("#main_content").css("top", "50%");
                $("#main_content").css("margin-top", "-"+($("#main_content").height()/2)+"px");
                $("#main_content").show();
                $("#big_img_load").attr("src", "img/ajax-loader.gif");
                var xinv = setInterval
                (
                    function()
                    {
                        var networkState = navigator.connection.type;
                        if(networkState.trim() == 'none')
                            $("#no_internet").show(); 
                        else 
                        {
                            $.post
                            (
                                server+"do=boot",{useruuid: user_uuid},function(data)
                                {
                                    if(data.trim() != "ok")
                                        window.location = "error.html";
                                    else
                                    {
                                        clearInterval(xinv);
                                        window.location = "app.html";
                                    }
                                }
                            );
                        }
                    },
                    1000
                );
            }
        );
    };

</script>

It remains in loading: No internet check, no POST to the URL, nothing.

Where is the problem? Why only build from XDK is not working?

My suspicion is you do not have the domain whitelisting section in the build settings set correctly for your app. See this article for some hints: https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/cordova-cli-412-domain-whitelisting-with-intel-xdk-for-ajax-and-launching-external-apps and make sure to build your app using Crosswalk, not Android, for best results on Android devices.
