I would just export with the newest version of cordova.

Ashley - minifying script broke the cocoon canvas+ plugin and made it ignore the "exit app" command.

Ashley - thanks for asking. Minifying breaks the cordova export for cocoon.io. Also, as I said in the OP, I wanted to disable cocoonlazyload after minification. Am I correct that changing "cocoonLazyLoad=!0" to "cocoonLazyLoad=!1" would do it?

Ruskul - I can't agree that mobile is a shitty platform. We're talking about everything from phones to tablets. I've played some AWESOME mobile games. When I first got an android 3 years ago, most games still cost something upfront. It was an honest trade. Now all of the freemium crap has swept through like the plague and the market is trashed. Of course people often pay huge sums on "free" games and I guess that's a strategy, I just personally prefer a more honest, upfront trade. I'm not saying I have any control over the game industry or what consumers or producers do. Just stating my .01.

— - agreed. The fact that only top ranking "new" games appear on play doesn't give those of us with less marketing resources a chance at all.

For those of us who would like to make an honest living selling the games that we've worked so hard on, the "freemium" game model has destroyed the game economy. Runaway deflation means that it seems that very few are paying for games outright anymore. Now the fees are hidden. Either the player has to be subjected to a stream of ads or is nickel and dimed to death to get upgrades that would have been included in a game of yesteryear. Of course there is no one to blame but the game designers - us. I saw the same thing happen to the book self-publishing industry. To get high ratings, people started selling their books for the lowest price possible, even going so far as to give them away for nothing. It's a sad state of affairs for those of us who have families to support and who would like to be able to make a living doing something we love. Is several hours of entertainment worth a couple of bucks? I think so. Think about movie prices - $10 bucks for 2 hours (or less) of entertainment. I'm offering several hours of entertainment for 99 cents. I remember when all video games came with premium price tags but now consumers are spoiled and don't want to pay anything for their fun. Can you blame them? I guess I'm unusual in that I still don't mind paying for video games. I PREFER not having ads shoved down my throat while I'm trying to relax and I don't want to pay for upgrades that should be an intrinsic part of the game. End rant.

I hear ya and understand.

Now I can post the link.

I've only messed with recent versions of the XDK and they were extremely slow for me as well! I ended up going with cocoon.io.

Cool idea!

Malt liquor.

Good info!
