Can't use phonegap methods for iOS in xcode

I do get it to read html and use regular js and jQuery methods, but it gives me nothing when I try to use these commands.

These are before my script:

<script src="phonegap.js"></script>
<script src="cordova-1.5.0.js"></script>

Doing this: 

var text = "grewrfar";
document.write(text);

...works fine, while for instance:

var text = device.uuid;
document.write(text);

...does not.

Also, I saw some people using navigator before the commands:

var text = navigator.device.uuid;
document.write(text);

This didn't work either.

How do I get it to work? Googling does not get me near a discussion about this, so I'm guessing I'm doing something really stupid. Just a nudge in a direction to look would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

It looks like you are trying to access Phonegap's API before the onDeviceReady event is being fired.

Add this to your JS - 

document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);

function onDeviceReady() {    //This will fire only when the Phonegap lib is fully loaded
   console.log(device.uuid);
}

Try this Example..

   // Wait for PhoneGap to load
    //
    document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);

    // PhoneGap is ready
    //
    function onDeviceReady() {
        var element = document.getElementById('result');

        element.innerHTML = 'Device UUID: '     + device.uuid ;
    }

under Body Tag..

<p id="result">Loading device properties...</p>
