Phonegap app works in phonegap app but not in phonegap build - ios

Question

I have an app that works 100% when running the phonegap windows program and then the phonegap app on my iphone.
However when I upload it to phonegap build then add the app to my phone via itunes the app is just a blank white screen.
Im using jquery mobile, socket.io and geolocation if any of that matters. Is it a whitelist issue?
What could be causing this?
I'm zipping the folder of my app that has a directory like this:
.cordova
hooks
platforms
plugins
www
config.xml
and here is my config file:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<widget id="com.phonegap.helloworld" version="1.0.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:gap="http://phonegap.com/ns/1.0">

I need to blog this, so i don't have to repeat this answer again and again.
You cannot use Phonegap Desktop App with Phonegap Build.
Phonegap Desktop App uses Phonegap CLI, so if you want to use Phonegap Desktop App you need to stay with Phonegap CLI.
If you want to use Phonegap Build, then forget what you have done and start over OR make Minor modifications to move Phonegap Desktop App to Phonegap Build. To be clear, the difference is minor, but enough to keep tripping you.
Also, you will not be able to use Phonegap Developer App as that is meant to work with Phonegap Desktop App. You cannot use either CLI or Build with Developer App.
FWIW: I've been trying to get Phonegap to fix this. Here is the report on the issue.
Here are the minor modifcations:
For Phonegap Build, index.html and config.xml both sit in the root directory and there is no www/ directory. No other items are required, and infact you want to remove anything not list in index.html before uploading to build.phonegap.com.
For Cordova/Phonegap CLI, config.xml is in the root directory and index.html sits in the www/ directory
