Sencha Cordova conflict with ?deviceType=...

[bwags]

Applications setup to include cordova.js will not load if you add the 'deviceType' parameter to the url.

Anyone else seeing this or have a workaround that doesn't include changing app.json every time I want to test on my desktop?

I tend to favor profiles and change those for my tests than to use deviceType parameter.

I tend to favor profiles and change those for my tests than to use deviceType parameter.

I have several profiles setup (Phone, AndroidTablet and IOSTablet) and the profiles load correctly on my devices but it would be nice to have a way to test on my desktop w/out having to change the profile themselves. Is that what you mean? That you prefer to change the isActive() method to return true for the profile you're testing?

The only thing I don't like about that is that I am forgetful and will forget from time to time to change the isActive() method back to actually check for the device type.

The deviceType param is checked to allow for easier testing and it would be nice if it would play nice with cordova.

Also, in the realm of a feature request, it would be really nice if instead of just checking for deviceType=Phone/Table it would just check for a profile matching whatever you pass in. That way I could just pass deviceType=AndroidTablet and not have to change the code in any of those profile classes.

Thanks for the reply Mitchell,
