I just upgraded Phonegap in my iOS app to version 2.2.0.

When I run it on my device, I get this error and the app crashes during startup:

2012-12-12 15:01:17.810 MyProject.de[662:907] -[__NSCFBoolean isEqualToString:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x3da29530
2012-12-12 15:01:17.812 MyProject.de[662:907] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[__NSCFBoolean isEqualToString:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x3da29530'

libc++abi.dylib: terminate called throwing an exception

What gives?

Update: I did some research by going through the code and removing lines step by step.

From what I can tell, the crash occurs at two places in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:

One is here: self.viewController.useSplashScreen = YES;

And the other one is here [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];

If I remove both lines, the app won’t crash but it also won’t load my index.html

    I found the cause for the problem. It was a wrong/deprecated value in Cordova.plist file.

    To fix it, open Cordova.plist and find the entry that says “BackupWebStorage”.

    Change the type from Boolean to String and also change the value from “YES” to “cloud”.

    That fixed the issue for me.
