Last night I started playing with `meteor –release 0.9.2-rc1` which you can read about and play with too; check it out here:

It’s wonderful!
The local development and hot-code-push is a great improvement over any other solution I’ve been using. Builds were painless (mostly).
Most of my stumbling points were due to 9x, not the new Cordova stuff.
A few interesting details…
Cordova gets built here:
So far, nothing easy in regards to configuring Cordova, but I’d guess we can edit the config.
We’ve been watching this for a while, but now the first Alpha release is out for Meteor + Cordova built into the core.
SWEET!
Watch the DevShop Presentation on it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzNoXbv1DX4&feature=youtu.be&t=24m
And here are instructions to get it going and play with it: https://meteor.hackpad.com/Getting-Started-With-Cordova-Z5n6zkVB1xq
Also, just an update, MeteorRider is still a strong and simple option for getting Meteor into Cordova (DOM hijacking), but I’m also checking out another great looking option is Cordova Loader (builds all Cordova assets into the public folder of Meteor).
UPDATE: see meteor-core-cordova-support-alpha-release-is-out (2014-08-25) for new information
About Meteor and PhoneGap / Cordova Meteor is a rapid server/client development framework, written in JS – makes very interactive apps easy to build. http://meteor.com
PhoneGap / Cordova is a project to allow developers to use HTML, CSS, and JS to build mobile apps for all major devices. http://phonegap.com
Basics of Integrating Meteor + PhoneGap / Cordova The basic idea here is to use PhoneGap / Cordova to create a mobile App on several different platforms at once and it gives device hardware access; then “load” your Meteor application, which handles all of the rest of whatever you want your app to do.
