Phonegap deviceready not firing using Cordova 2.2.0 in iOS

I am building a PhoneGap App. Unfortunately, when deploying to iOS devices and simulators the deviceready event never fires. I'm using Phonegap 2.2.0.

When I deploy the same code to Android (using the Android-specific cordova.js file of course) the App will work perfectly.

When I replace the deviceready with a jQuery-ready() the app will load on iOS as well, yet it will then lack access to the device specific APIs.

The cordova.js is loaded as I will see a simple alert message that I put inside of it, yet deviceready never fires and the APIs are never exposed.

My HTMLs head:

<script type=text/javascript charset=utf-8 src=js/cordova.js></script> <!-- yes it is the iOS version -->

<script src=js/jquery-1.8.2.min.js></script>

<script src=js/app.js></script>

My JS:

function doStuff(){

//app functionality

}

document.addEventListener('deviceready', doStuff, false);

But somehow stuff will only get done on Android...

in my html I have a onload that triggers that adding of an event listener to deviceready

      function onDeviceReady() {

        console.log(we are an app);

        MyApp.initialize_phonegap();

      }



      function onBodyLoad() {   

        document.addEventListener(deviceready, onDeviceReady, false);

      }



    </script>



  </head>



  <body onload=onBodyLoad()>
