I am trying to upload a file to my server with Phonegap. I am currently stuck when an error that says:
InvalidCastException
Failed to deserialize WP7CordovaClassLib.Cordova.Commands.FileTransfer+UploadOptions[] with JSON value :: ["{\"filePath\":\"/CapturedImagesCache/PhotoChooser-51766419-c657-46db-a53d-f09bee300a89.jpg\",\"server\":\"http://server.myapp.srv.co.nz/pages/fileupload\",\"fileKey\":\"file\",\"fileName\":\"PhotoChooser-51766419-c657-46db-a53d-f09bee300a89.jpg\",\"mimeType\":\"image/jpg\",\"params\":\"value1=test&value2=param\",\"chunkedMode\":false}"]

Does anyone have an idea on how to make this work?
Thanks!

I'm thinking that you are malforming your options value. Do you need to pass JSON or an actual object?
Right now you are passing an array with text in it.
options = ["{\"filePath\":\"/CapturedImagesCache/PhotoChooser-51766419-c657-46db-a53d-f09bee300a89.jpg\",\"server\":\"http://my.server.co.nz/pages/fileupload\",\"fileKey\":\"file\",\"fileName\":\"PhotoChooser-51766419-c657-46db-a53d-f09bee300a89.jpg\",\"mimeType\":\"image/jpg\",\"params\":\"value1=test&value2=param\",\"chunkedMode\":false}"]
The error seems to involve deserialization issues.

Put your getImage, uploadImage, win, fail outside of $(document).ready 's inline function call.
Reference to win and fail are actually closure, and phone gap gets it as null when it is trying to access those methods directly. Phonegap is probably expecting a global function instead of hidden function inside a function.
PhoneGap's executes its code out side javascript context, what may work in true javascript fashion may not work correctly with phonegap.
