Edit www/js/index.js and replace onDeviceReady with

www/js/index.js

    onDeviceReady: function() {
        app.receivedEvent('deviceready');

        // this crashes the app on iOS
        var dictionary = { error: 'notification plugin is expecting a string'};
        navigator.notification.alert(dictionary);
    },

Run the app
