Sencha itself is pretty cool and nice to work with. However, the white screen during boot is horrible! Seems there is no real solution to it and that sucks! Especially when you have to pay for the software and are stuck with apps that you can not realease because of this problem.
Just use phonegap. Simple. 10x better. Use phonegap build if you don't have regular access to a mac during development.
Sencha continually demonstrate that they can't back up their undoubtedly awesome framework with the quick response support that's needed for packaging tools, even for paying customers.
I guess Phonegap can be an option. However, I can not find any good instructions on how to build the app usiing Phonegap. Most tutorials and info are not up to date or nog complete. Doesn't make it much easier.
Just follow a standard phonegap tutorial, then run "sencha app build package", copy and paste the resultant files into the phonegap project, and you're done. You don't need a sencha and phonegap tutorial, it's not necessary.

Hmmm ok, that sounds easy. Thank you very much for the reply. I will look into it!
Still think it's horrible Sencha can not do that with it's own packager!
- When I build the package it does not include all files! I have to copy some files by hand.
- When I also copy build app to my new phonegap project, render it in the simulator, it doesn't work. The app runs just fine in the browser. Same source as the simulator. However, in the simulator as an app it does not have internet. When I open the app in safari within the simulator, it runs.
Any suggestions to the following?

When running the app in a browser, have you checked the console for warnings about missing require statements? This is often one of the possible sources of such problems.

Yes, I did. I had missing files. Phonegap does not include everything like Sencha native build does. I copied the files and then it works in the browser. However, it refuses to run when build with Phonegap.
