How do I get the current time using Phonegap for iOS?

I need to get the current time. This code works perfect in a browser but does not work in a phonegap app for iOS. Is there anything I should do different within my Javascript to make this work using phonegap?

var dt = new Date();


        currentHours = dt.getHours();
        currentHours = ("0" + currentHours).slice(-2);
        currentMinutes = dt.getMinutes();
        currentMinutes = ("0" + currentMinutes).slice(-2);
        currentSeconds = dt.getSeconds();
        currentSeconds = ("0" + currentSeconds).slice(-2);
        var time = currentHours+":"+currentMinutes+":"+currentSeconds;


        var formData = $(this).serialize() + '&time=' + time;

That has to work, check if the hour of the emulator is right (The timezone can be incorrect).

Anyway, I recommend you use the UTC timestamp like:

var dt = new Date();
var now = dt.getTime();
var formData = $(this).serialize() + '&time=' + now.toString();

Other solution is using moment.js lib, ex:

var formData = $(this).serialize() + '&time=' + moment().format("HH:MM:SS");
