I have an small jquery mobile app for blackberry platform. In Ripple emulator, Chrome plugin, works fine all the getJSON request, but in RIM Simulator (blackberry 9300) with the app make by PhoneGap Build the getJSON request don't retrieve the data, show the loading spinner in infinite loop.
Could be something in the configuration file? Thanks a lot for any help!

Did you setup an access element for the domain you are making the request to? You need to whitelist any domains your app needs to contact. Ripple doesn't enforce this rule.

<access uri="http://www.mydomain.com" subdomains="true">
   <feature id="blackberry.app.event" required="true" version="1.0.0"/>
</access>

Thank you! But is "blackberry.app.event" or "blackberry.pim.memo" for blackberry smartphone? I write "<access uri="*" subdomains="true"> but seems don't. How can I open google maps URL in blackberry browser? Thanks, thanks, thanks!

There also may be an issue of cross-site-scripting.  Read this post on how to enable $.support.cors = true:

You want to launch the browser from your WebWorks app?  You can do that using the blackberry.invoke and blackberry.invoke.BrowserArguments API.  Here is the documentation, as well as a code sample:

Thanks astanley! Now I can open browser from my app! But sometimes the Ajax request don't work in blackberry simulator (I don't have a phone) and I don't understand why if I don't change the code!

I tested the application on a real phone, model 9300, and all work correctly, the simulator is not reliable.
