Hi Rajesh,
Here is my little cheat sheet on how to create a new PhoneGap application and adding the Wikitude Plugin afterwards. Maybe it's helpful for you.

## Create a New Project

phonegap create *FolderName* *bundleId* *AppName*

 

### Build the Project

cd *FolderName*

 

phonegap build ios

 

### Add iOS Plugin

pwd == *FolderName*

 

plugman install --platform ios --project platforms/ios --plugin https://github.com/Wikitude/wikitude-phonegap.git

 

 

plugman uninstall --platform ios --project platforms/ios --plugin com.wikitude.phonegap.WikitudePlugin

 

 

Please keep in mind that the Wikitude SDK is quite large, so the Wikitude Plugin install can take severall minutes, depending on your internet connection. I suggest that you have a look at some network monitor to see if there is still some network activity going on.

 

 


Best regards

Thank you for reply, But i still having same problem. 

i have done following your steps.

pwd == "FolderName"

i don't know what this above command do . i didn't find any documentation either . Can you please let me know where should i type this command .

i assumed and used this pwd=="folderName" in terminal console . then i tried to install wikitude plugin using your "plugman install ...... " command . i received a message

pwd == "FolderName" is not a command, it means that after you have changed into the project directory, the output of the 'pwd' command should be the path where your project is located.

Which PhoneGap version are you using? (type 'phonegap version' in terminal)

 

Best regards

hi thanks for reply,

     i used --debug in pugman command and paste the results below

Seems that the plugin is already installed. I would suggest that you either uninstall the wikitude plugin or create a new project and add our plugin from scratch.
Did you perform a 'phonegap build ios' before your added the plugin?

Best regards

Andreas

            Have fun using world's first AR plugin for PhoneGap. Visit http://developer.wikitude.com/documentation/phonegap for technical support.

 

            Ensure that your SDK key matches your bundle identifier (e.g. "com.yourapp.id" ). This will remove the watermark and intro animation. For more information the online store at http://www.wikitude.com/store

Congrats! Have fun using the Wikitude Plugin with PhoneGap!

This is because the value you specified for the --project flag is not valid (~/Stash/). If you created your project via the command line interface, and then ran "phonegap build ios" for instance, then the value for --project should be something like "/Users/macuser/myapp/platforms/ios/". Of course the "/Users/macuser/myapp/" part will be different for you, but this part is just the location of your app.
If you didn't install your project via the CLI, then I'm not sure exactly what you need to specify for the --project flag, of if you would be able to use plugman at all.
