Phonegap email composer fails on Android and iOS

Question

I've been experimenting with the latest phonegap. I took the Default PhoneGap Project, and ran it on iOS and Android using the Phonegap Developer App. All worked.

Then, within the onDeviceReady event, I added some geo-location stuff. All worked fine.

I then added cordova-plugin-email-composer to my config.xml file

<plugin name="cordova-plugin-email-composer" source="npm" spec="0.8.3"/>

and, within the onDeviceReady event I added

cordova.plugins.email.open({
    to:      '[email protected]',
    cc:      '[email protected]',
    bcc:     ['[email protected]', '[email protected]'],
    subject: 'Greetings',
    body:    'How are you? Nice greetings from Leipzig'
});

(Lifted directly from https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-email-composer)

In the browser ( phonegap serve ) this works - opens my email client. However, when run on Android and iOS (using the Phonegap Developer App) it doesn't work. The app renders, but I can't interact with it.

I've googled, and lots of people are reporting problems with the cordova-plugin-email-composer - but no solutions.

Thanks, Rob

The phonegap developer app I think doesn't include the plugin "cordova-plugin-email-composer" if you want still using phonegap developer app, clone https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-app-developer add the plugin a use this one instead the app from the play store
