Prominence of PhoneGap App Development

by John Smith Franticpro

PhoneGap is also known as Apache Cordova is an open-source development framework used by programmers to build cross-platform mobile applications. PhoneGap uses a wrapper function to extend HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to work natively on iOS, Windows, and Android mobiles. The result is a hybrid web application with a native appearance. HTML, CSS, and JS code is displayed through the mobile devices web browser creating an application that mimics native user interfaces (UIs). The mobile web browser gains access to native device APIs by combining native and hybrid snippets to render an app with a native user experience (UE).

Advantages of PhoneGap App Development

• Release uniform items overall platforms

In the starting stages of product development in companies consistency issues arises. Due to this issue, it was not possible to download uniform features across all mobile platforms. An app created for Android can look different in iOS and vice-versa. PhoneGap provides consistency across the cross-platform application development system.

• Each and everyone can act like a native application

When PhoneGap applications take advantage of the properties used and the equipment of the mobile phone, they function as native applications. Usage property comprises geolocation, accelerometer, camera, etc. This system provides an amazing experience at all times.

• Powerful Backend

When the framework is a strong backend framework, it reduces development efforts and helps us develop products quickly. A robust backend looks like a strong root because it actually affects the performance of our application.

• Two advantages in one go

PhoneGap is the most popular cross-platform. We can build a single app and then send it to the other mobile platforms. PhoneGap plays an important role in business and development. PhoneGap applications provide products for businesses and developers are available in the shortest possible time.

Disadvantages of PhoneGap App Development

• Does not support plugins with hooks

Plugins with hooks are not supported by PhoneGap builds which requires them to crash with the feature. For instance, WordPress has a hook that motivates developers to link their code to WP with the core codebase, plugins, and themes. Also, PKGBuild does not support Cordova traps.

• Mac is required for iOS application development

To design iOS apps, we need Macs because we can’t design an iOS app without downloading its SDKs. However, we can compete with the limitation with the help of PhoneGap App Development Build as it can organize our build and return the latest file.

• Plugins could be outdated

PhoneGap plugins may get out of date after using it. It may affect the functionality of the application. We don’t have plugins for some features like geolocation, camera, etc.
