Using core-plugins in phonegap build 2.9 - plugins

I'm building a simple app for Windows Phone 8 (with limits me to PG 2.9, since PG 3.0 is not yet supporting WP8).
When I include one of core plugins (3rd party ones work just fine) in my config.xml, I get "Unable to create app: plugin unsupported" error.
Changanging PG version to 3.0 fixes problem, and shows included plugin under "Plugins" tab.
So the question is: how to use core plugins in PGB 2.9?

You don't need to use the plugin tag in your config.xml file for 2.9.0. That's why you're getting the error.
We're planning on rolling out support for Windows Phone 8 in PhoneGap Build by the end of the week so you can use 3.0.0 and not have this issue.

Angulars with ionic2 working tutorial

We have planned to start our new mobile app using the cordova+ ionic2 framework. its saying that the angular2 in now in bet release and it will be released to production after 2 month. But the team itself saying that even though the reease is i beta we can start the project. But i don't see much tutorial how can integrate the ionic frameork should integrate in my linux machine. Also please guide me the appropriate editor in linux to work in ionic2 with angular2.
Follow the steps in the Ionic2 tutorial http://ionicframework.com/docs/v2/getting-started/installation/. I just upgraded my project to work with the latest version of Ionic2. They are using the Release Candidate 1 of Angular2 (as of this writing), and they are continuously upgrading. It is fairly easy to get a project up and running following the instructions on their site.
I am using WebStorm on my computer (they also have a version for Linux).

Updating Ionic Apps in real time

I'm a web developer, new to Ionic.But I can't find out how can I update my app on the server,like a website,and without having user redownload the app.Is there any solutions?
Thanks!
There's an available plugin you can use Cordova-hot-code-push
This plugin provides functionality to perform automatic updates of the web based content in your application.Basically, everything that is stored in www folder of your Cordova project can be updated using this plugin.
supported platforms: Android 4.0.0 or above.
iOS 7.0 or above. Xcode 7 is required.
It has a great wiki too.
Yes, as of recently there is a solution for this. Ionic calls it Ionic Deploy, and you can see the official documentation about it here.
However, one must note that this is still in Alpha version and they don't recommend it for production, but since they're very apt in shipping new features, I'm sure this will be even production ready very soon.

Ios smsComposer phonegap plugin works with cordova-2.1.0 js file or not

I am able to integrate iOS smsComposer phonegap plugin in cordova-1.9.0 but not able to integrate with cordova-2.1.0 js file. What could be the issue. Anyone worked on that plugin or is that plugin supports cordova-2.1.o or not and one more thing how to figure out whether phone gap plugins support our current cordova-x.x.x or not.
There is a new version of SMSComposer as of last month at
git phonegap plugins
I have it working with cordova-2.2.0.js
NOTES:
there's a file that they use: SMSComposer.js I had to change "Cordova" to "cordova" to get it working.
Also it is for older iOS versions. I think I broke it by changing that in Xcode, the first time I worked w the plugin.

ADT Plugin Directory Location for SDK - (MotoDev)

Right now I am setting up Motodev.
Its a Android Development Suite built on Eclipse, created by Motorola.
What is needed is the Android SDK. Check, got that, newest version, everything is set with that.
Now it says I need the ADT Eclipse plugin. Version 20.0.1, currently mine is v18.
I know where to get it, I can easily get it, but I am curious, where should it be installed? Currently I dont have eclipse I am just using MotoDev. But since Motodev asks where the SDK location is, and says my ADT plugin is out of date, I am assuming I have to install the ADT in the SDK directory. But is there somewhere more specific to put it? In a specific folder? or just in the top level of the SDK directory?
Thanks for your time.
Unfortunately, you can't use ADT20 with MOTODEV Studio 4.0. The plugins had some API changes between 18 and 20 that made them incompatible with each other. You will need to roll your SDK back to 19 until we can release a newer version. I wrote about this about a week ago on the MOTODEV Studio blog.
We're done with the engineering work on the new version. It's just a matter of getting the push to the web server scheduled. I expect it to be ready by late next week or early the following week.
Until then, if you need to use ADT20 for Jellybean development, use Eclipse for Mobile Developers plus the MOTODEV Core Plugins (using Help>Eclipse Marketplace). Most of the functionality of the installed product is there, but without the dependency on ADT. See the blog for details on how to set that up.

iPhone SDK - Converting project from 2.1 to 2.2.1

I just read in an online article that 2.2.1 does not support previous sdk. I wonder what that means? I just downloaded 2.2.1 and want to use updated/latest API's framework.
How can i convert my project so that it uses updated/latest API's/Frameworks in version 2.2.1? Are there any special steps required OR should i just 1.) delete 2.1 and 2.) install 2.2.1, and 3.) delete the Frameworks and reload them from iPhoneOS2.2.sdk directory instead, and that will do the magic.
Thanks.
It's safe to install. You don't have to "convert" anything. Your projects will continue to work. There are no new API's in 2.2.1. The documentation is a single page that tells you to refer to the 2.2 documentation.
