Use Nomad. (Visual studio extension which integrates Adobe Phonegap Build)
Update:
From http://vsnomad.com/
Retiring Nomad
When we made Nomad free, we hoped the support load would be manageable. However, we’ve found our users still expect a lot of support for free tools. We don’t want to give our users false expectations, so we think it’s better that they find another solution with full support. For this reason, we will retire Nomad on September 1st this year.
Alternatives to Nomad
Nomad uses the open-source Cordova framework. This means you can move Nomad projects to other vendors that use Cordova, including:
PhoneGap Build (Adobe)
Instead of using PhoneGap Build via Nomad, you can interact with it directly using the PhoneGap Build command line.Multi-Device Hybrid Apps (Microsoft)
A Visual Studio extension that adds PhoneGap support.AppBuilder (Telerik)
A Visual Studio extension similar to Nomad.

Check out the Multi-Device Hybrid Apps (Preview) from Microsoft.
Don't you just love their naming conventions...
I haven't had a chance to try it myself as it requires VS2013 and Windows 8.1, but it looks promising.
Telerik AppBuilder (formerly known as Icenium) is a set of IDEs and cloud-based build tools that allow you to use PhoneGap/Cordova to build cross-platform apps. You should read up on it and use their free trial here: http://www.telerik.com/appbuilder
