PhoneGap Development

Today, the demand for cross-platform apps is ever increasing. Although hybrid applications reside in a web container, they are increasingly providing us the feel of native applications. This being the scenario, large number of mobile application development companies are looking at PhoneGap/ Cordova as their go-to solution.

PhoneGap is an Open Source framework that helps build hybrid applications which work on most mobile platforms such as Android, iOS, Blackberry, Windows Phone among others. framework provides a container that bridges the native APIs to the web view. As UI is rendered via web views instead of UI framework native to mobile platforms, and platform native resources are accessed from FFI (Foreign Function Interface) feature, applications developed using PhoneGap are Hybrid.

This framework is used by several mobile application platforms such as ViziApps, Worklight, Convertigo and AppMobi as the backbone of their mobile client development engine.

As development using PhoneGap framework can be done using common web technologies such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and the same application works cross-platform, the application development cost across multiple mobile operating systems highly reduces. Hence, PhoneGap framework provides some significant advantages on cost, time and effort.

The build.phonegap.com web infrastructure provides easy tools to build your app without the need for the platform locally.

To summarize, following are the advantages of using PhoneGap:

Write once, run on multiple platforms
Extend functionality using native plugins
Cloud-based build system (Phonegap Build)
Uniform design across platforms using a framework like Bootstrap
Native look and feel available using a framework like ionic framework
Code in Javascript for all platforms
Access to all device capabilities.

PhoneGap is apt for single page Apps and for enterprise Apps with specific focus on the application features. Phonegap supports most of the commonly required features like:

Encrypted database (using SQLite and SQLcrypt plugin)
Push messages
Fast loading and searches using batch and AngularJS filters
Photo capture and QR code scanner
Geo-location updates
