If you get an error on PhoneGap App that says “Unable to download archive from the server” when using PhoneGap on Windows then try this :
- Download the latest build zip from https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-app-desktop/releases and replace the contents of C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\PhoneGap\PhoneGap Desktop with the contents from this zip
- Open up Windows firewall -> Click on “Allow an app or feature through windows firewall” -> Click on Change Settings -> search for “Electron” -> allow Public access.
