Getting null error while running with cordova serve

[jwellner]

Just updated a test project to version v0.9.19 and noticed the following error running the project with "cordova serve ios"

TypeError: Cannot call method 'toLowerCase' of null
    at Object.ionic.Platform.is (http://localhost:8000/ios/www/js/ionic.js:1798:74)
    at Object.is (http://localhost:8000/ios/www/js/ionic-angular.js:448:33)

I think cordova serve is returning null on window.device.platform in the following code (line 70 platform.js)

    // Check if the platform is the one detected by cordova
    is: function(type) {
      if(window.device) {
        return window.device.platform === type || window.device.platform.toLowerCase() === type;
      }

      // A quick hack for 
      return navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf(type.toLowerCase()) >= 0;
    }

Don't know if this is a cordova issue or should be fixed in the ionicframework.

$ cordova -v
3.3.1-0.1.2
