Stan -- I did not see any issues loading the project into the XDK, but I could not get the test app you supplied to run in the Simulate tab, or in the Debug tab. There were console messages in the debug window regarding timeouts (see image below). However, I'm not clear if that is the problem you are describing. (Read past image for more.)
If the image above IS the problem you are describing, then the solution is to add a plugin to the project. I recommend adding the Cordova Device plugin (see additional images below for an example of how to do that), which will resolve the issue that I ran into. If this is not the issue you were encountering, than please provide more information regarding the problem.
Hi Paul,
Thanks for looking into this issue.
No, I have a different error (see the screenshot below), however I believe it also may be related to the missing Cordova plugin.
When I import/open a project in XDK, there are no error messages, but when I try to run it in the Emulator I'm getting error 404.
I tried following your screenshots, but was unable to add Cordova plugin to my project. It shows "Fetching plugin" for a few seconds and then nothing happens - there is no message that the plugin was added successfully and it doesn't appear under the "Plugin management" tab.
I tried different versions of Cordova device plugin and other plugins, but none of them got added.
XDK.LOG contains this:
client:cordova:[2016-08-15T12:14:15.543Z]: (1471263255543): Cordova plugin change request: { ADD:
[ { origin: 'cordova-plugin-device',

client:cordova:[2016-08-15T12:14:15.598Z]: (1471263255598): Cordova plugin add [ 'cordova-plugin-device@1.1.1' ]
client:cordova:[2016-08-15T12:14:16.112Z]: (1471263256112): All Cordova plugin changes done successfully, now updating plugin references..
I also tried re-installing Construct2 and Intel XDK, created a new small test C2 project but no luck.
When I create a sample project in XDK itself - it works fine in the emulator, so the issue only happens with Construct2 projects.

your built app behaviour may differ compared to what is displayed in intel app preview.
App preview uses a different CLI version than the following CLI verson in your project:
What does that really mean ?
It means exactly what it says -- the way your app behaves in App Preview may be different than the way it behaves when you build the app and install it on your device. In other words, App Preview is not a substitute for testing a fully built app on a device. App Preview is providing you with some information regarding some of the differences between your project build settings and how App Preview was built. Those differences may affect the behavior of your app when it runs in App Preview, compared to how it behaves when you build your app.

And one more thing, everytime i finished configuring the debug tag and cretae the api extension file as it said it... the intel xdk app preview is deleted on my ipad and the debug tab sends this error : The intel xdk cannot detect a properly signed version of app preview on your testing device... really i'm lost.. please help
You need to provide a "dev" certificate to sign App Preview for use with the Debug tab, an adhoc or production cert will not work. However, you'll find that the Debug tab and iOS devices do not work that well at this time, and you are limited to the plugins that are built into App Preview. Unlike using an Android device, the Debug tab does not build a "custom debug module" that contains your project's plugin list, it simply re-signs App Preview so you can attach to it for JavaScript debugging.
As an alternative to using the Debug tab with a re-signed copy of App Preview, I recommend that you build your app with a developer certificate (you can add a dev cert to your account in the account settings section of the XDK, see the image below). Once you have an app that was built with a dev cert, you can install it on your iOS device and use GapDebug to debug it with Web Inspector remote, on a Windows or Mac machine. It works quite well for debugging a built iOS app from a Windows machine.
