Also, one can use third-party incorporation. Mobilepundits is a leading PhoneGap Development Company has team of skilled and experience mobile and PhoneGap Developers who develops apps for many platforms that suit for business needs.

3. What is Phonegap
Phonegap is an open source development tool for building fast and
easy mobile apps with JavaScript, HTML and CSS.Phonegap
Supports development for ios,Android, Blackberry and Windows.
PhoneGap is also known as Apache Cordova is a technology that lets
programmers build mobile application and then wrap it the PhoneGap
Framework that can be installed as a native mobile app.

4. So What is PhoneGap??

5. Why Phonegap ??
PhoneGap, an open-source mobile framework, offers an
alternative: It helps developers build a common codebase for their
apps so the apps work across devices and systems.
PhoneGap is an application framework that allows developers to
use HTML, JavaScript and CSS to create apps that are present as
first-class applications on the phone.
PhoneGap apps are standards compliant, they’re future-proofed to
work with browsers as they evolve.
Thousands of apps built using PhoneGap are available in mobile
app stores and directories.

6. Cross Platform Mobile App Development & PhoneGap

7. Phonegap Architecture

8. ksHow Phonegap Works??
 PhoneGap generally uses standards based
web technologies to bridge web apps and mobile
devices.
 Using the free open source framework or
PhoneGap build you can get access to native
APIs.
 Deploy to multiple platform.
 Build your app once with web standards.

10. Phonegap Build

11. Phonegap Build Service
Using PhoneGap we can crate Build Native web apps
There are some factors the web does very effectively and there are also some factors
native applications do very effectively. PhoeGap is designed for the partnership of
these.
Using HTML, CSS or JavaScript Write applications
Upload it to the PhoneGap Build Service.
Get back app store ready applications for Apple ios, Android OS, Symbian and
Blackberry.
Existing development also supports windows, MeeGo and Bada.

13. PhoneGap Challenges
Although PhoneGap Framework provides advantages on cost, time and effort, with
the current generation of release, it has a few concerns to be addressed yet.
 The container layer does not provide sufficient options for developers to measure
and optimize the app performance.
 PhoneGap framework is not optimized to build graphic intensive user interface.
 Compared to ios and Android, PhoneGap lacks strong document based support
for programmers.

14. Pros for PhoneGap
You can use the single codebase for your cross platform applications.
PhoneGap apps install just like a native application, and are able to leverage app
store discoverability.
PhoneGap follows a plug-in architecture, which means that access to native
device APIs can be extended in a modular way.
PhoneGap is open source and free, so there are no licensing cost.
With your existing skills you can build anything you can imagine and deploy it to
iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Blackberry, webOS and Symbian.
You can leverage the hardware specific features such as Geolocation, Vibration,
Accelerometer, Contact support and sound.

15. Cons for PhoneGap
If your mobile app includes too many graphic
elements, performance could be a big issue.
Not so clear information and directions for user-
interface and other best practices to make the app
better.
Documentation is also not so descriptive and at
times also lack crucial information required for the
development.
Several Platform core features may still not be
available via PhoneGap .

16. Platform specific native apps seem to be slowly fading
away into a niche or need basis.
HTML/JS is easier to deal with than Java.
If you want to produce an app or deploy to multiple
platforms at reasonable cost then PhoneGap is the way
to go
