Sencha 2.2.0 alpha: document.body does not exist at this point

[kworam]

Let me start off by saying that I am very glad Sencha will be supporting IE10 and Windows 8 / Phone 8!

As soon as I heard about ST2.2 alpha, I downloaded it and have started porting my ST2 app to it using Visual Studio 2012. I am running my ST2.2 alpha app in the Visual Studio 2012 debugger which launches IE10 and attempts to display 'index.html'. When my "new Ext.application({ ... " code runs, it causes a long stack of function calls that end in a call to the 'getBody' function (see below) which throws the "[Ext.getBody] document.body does not exist at this point" Error.

Am I doing something wrong here? Is this the right place to report ST 2.2 alpha bugs?

    getBody: function() {
        if (!Ext.documentBodyElement) {
            if (!document.body) {
                throw new Error("[Ext.getBody] document.body does not exist at this point");
            }

            Ext.documentBodyElement = Ext.get(document.body);
        }

        return Ext.documentBodyElement;
    },

You shouldn't have new Ext.application, just Ext.application. Also, 2.2.0 alpha shouldn't be used for any production code because you are going to run into issues, just be playing with the alpha build.
