I currently have a project built with Angular that I'm deploying to the Phonegap Build service to create iOS and Android distributions. Originally, I was using Angular's built in routing service. However, the need to nest multiple views facilitated my adoption of the Angular UI-Router. I've built a simple routing system that works when testing locally via a web browser and using Ripple Emulator.
The index.html is as follows:
<html lang="en" ng-app="myApp">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=yes" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, height=device-height, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, target-densitydpi=medium-dpi, user-scalable=0" />
<!-- Styles -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/bootstrap.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/bootstrap-theme.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/photo-slider.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/spin.css" />
<title>App Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="loader" id='ajax-loader'>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
</div>
<!-- View Container for the Header -->
<div ui-view="header"></div>
<!-- View Container for the Content -->
<div ui-view="content"></div>

And the code for the routing
var myApp = angular.module('myApp',[
'ui.router',
'ngTouch',
'ui.bootstrap',
'Controllers',
'Services'
]);
myApp.config(function($stateProvider,$urlRouterProvider,$compileProvider){
//$compileProvider.aHrefSanitizationWhitelist(/^\s*(https?|ftp|mailto|file|tel):/);
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/login');
$stateProvider.
state('login',{
url:'/login',
views:{
'header@':{
templateUrl:'/views/login.header.html'
},
'content@':{
templateUrl:'/views/login.html',
controller: 'LoginController'
}
}
}).
state('tours',{
url:'/tours',
views:{
'header':{
templateUrl:'/views/tours.header.html',
controller: 'HeaderController'
},
'content':{
templateUrl:'/views/tours.html',
controller: 'ToursController'
}
}
}).
state('tour',{
url:'/tours/:tourId',
views:{
'header':{
templateUrl:'/views/header.html',
controller: 'HeaderController'
},
'content':{
templateUrl: '/views/tour.html',
controller: 'TourController'
}
}
}).
state('buildingTour',{
url:'/buildingTour/:tourId',
views:{
'header':{
templateUrl:'/views/header.html',
controller: 'HeaderController'
},
'content':{
templateUrl:'views/building_tour.html',
controller:'BuildingTourController'
}
}
}).
state('buildingTourNotes',{
url:'/buildingTour/:tourId/notes',
views:{
'header':{
templateUrl:'/views/header.html',
controller: 'HeaderController'
},
'content':{
templateUrl: 'views/notes.html',
controller: 'NotesController'
}
}
}).
state('buildingTourPhotos',{
url:'/buildingTour/:tourId/photos',
views:{
'header':{
templateUrl:'/views/header.html',
controller: 'HeaderController'
},
'content':{
templateUrl:'/views/photos.html',
controller:'PhotosController'
}
}
}).
state('buildingTourDocuments',{
url:'/buildingTour/:tourId/documents',
views:{
'header':{
templateUrl:'/views/header.html',
controller: 'HeaderController'
},
'content':{
templateUrl:'/views/documents.html',
controller:'DocumentsController'
}
}
}).
state('buildingTourFloorplans',{
url:'/buildingTour/:tourId/floorplans',
views:{
'header':{
templateUrl:'/views/header.html',
controller: 'HeaderController'
},
'content':{
templateUrl:'/views/floorplans.html',
controller:'FloorplansController'
}
}
}).
state('buildingTourRatings',{
url:'/buildingTour/:tourId/ratings',
views:{
'header':{
templateUrl:'/views/header.html',
controller: 'HeaderController'
},
'content':{
templateUrl:'/views/ratings.html',
controller:'RatingsController'
}
}
});
});
However, using the Phonegap Build service produces iOS and Android distributions that are completely blank. Inspecting the html markup with Phonegap Build's debugger shows that the div's for the header and the content end up blank.
See the image below:
I've also looked into issues on the github repo for UI-Router and come up with this. Though that seems like it only pertains to ui-sref elements as opposed to ui-view elements. Has anyone else run into this issue or one similar? Refactoring using traditional angular conditional logic to render different headers will be a pain seems to make the code less readable/sustainable. Thanks!

Quick awnser: The problem is the initial slash in your template urls. Remove all initial slashes and you should be good to go.
Example: the excerpt below from your code
templateUrl:'/views/login.header.html'
Should be changed to:
templateUrl:'views/login.header.html'
Explanation: The initial slash makes the path relative to the root. When you are testing on the browser the index.html is probably on http://localhost/index.html, so the request to /views/login.header.html resolves to http://localhost/views/login.headers.html which is ok.
In the other hand, when you are testing on the app generated by phonegap, the index.html is probably on file:///android_asset/www/index.html, so the request resolves to file:///views/login.headers.html wich doesn't exist. If you remove the initial slash from the url the path becomes relative to where you are and the request will resolve to file:///android_asset/www/views/login.headers.html and it should work.

I know the answer was accepted but I want to add another possible cause of the problem: Make sure you are not enabling html5Mode, and not playing with the Prefix on your config(). This was the issue for me.
