function onDeviceReady() {
	console.log('BuildInfo.packageName    =' + BuildInfo.packageName);
	console.log('BuildInfo.basePackageName=' + BuildInfo.basePackageName);
	console.log('BuildInfo.displayName    =' + BuildInfo.displayName);

	console.log('BuildInfo.versionCode    =' + BuildInfo.versionCode);
	console.log('BuildInfo.debug          =' + BuildInfo.debug);
	console.log('BuildInfo.buildTime      =' + BuildInfo.buildTime);
