No, that's not what Meteor does.

http://docs.meteor.com/#appcache " The appcache package stores the static parts of a Meteor application (the client side Javascript, HTML, CSS, and images) in the browser's application cache [...] Hot code pushes are loaded by the browser in the background while the app continues to run. Once the new code has been fully loaded the browser is able to switch over to the new code quickly."

Appcache is a completely different feature that existed in Meteor long long time ago.

The new feature that works in Phonegap integration is storing the application data in App's local storage (not browser's). Not only these files are accessible before the browser is loaded but also they don't need to be downloaded first time, the initial code is shipped with the standard app bundle.

(I work at Meteor on this exact feature)
