Hey Steve, I know you're not there now but when you have a second, I wanted to see if you could try to create a template with the F7 template thru cordova or phonegap (or both) and let me know if it works ok. I had republished it to npm yesterday but had a previous version in my local npm cache and it was throwing an error when creating the template. I deleted that `npm_cache` folder in `~/.cordova/lib` then it worked ok. The error I got before that was `Error: Failed to retrieve phonegap-template-framework7 from NPM.` It's thrown as a result of the `npmAddCache()` method -> https://github.com/apache/cordova-lib/blob/master/cordova-lib/src/cordova/remote_load.js#L64 and returned back to the `create.js` module https://github.com/apache/cordova-lib/blob/master/cordova-lib/src/cordova/create.js#L213 from the `npmFetch()`.
