$ not found with basic template

I started a basic HTML5 project with App Framework and added some pages and sprite buttons to swap between pages, but the javascript console says $ unknown command, the usual jQuery library not being loaded kind of error.

App Designer, in JSHint. I know about the flags and such, but this is a showstopper in something which I thought was supposed to work without expert tips because it is App Designer, why need arcane code knowledge in the App Framework which seems like the recommended option?

If it is only a JSHint

If it is only a JSHint warning, you can ignore it. Or, you can, as Elroy suggested, add a Javascript comment to the top of the offending .js file:

/*global $ */
