Over the last few months at Inviqa we've been developing our first two mobile apps – BNY Mellon Boat Race, a rowing app for iPhone and Android, and another app just for iPhone. We chose to use PhoneGap to build the apps as the idea of developing once and deploying to multiple platforms is very appealing and since we're web developers, HTML, CSS and Javascript are what we know best. There has been a lot of debate recently about using frameworks like PhoneGap versus building native apps, but PhoneGap has worked well for us and I'd happily use it again.
Building these apps has been a learning process for us so I thought it might be useful to share some of things I’ve learned along the way. (more...)
