Hi,
Please refer to the following URL for building Mobile Apps using AEM 6.1 PhoneGap.
http://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-1/develop/mobile-apps/apps/mobile-phonegap.html
1. The first line in this page says: "Build your application to install to a device or simulator for testing or for publishing to app stores.".
We are aware that using PhoneGap, we could build mobile apps for all mobile devices/OSs.
But App Stores is specific to Apple Phones with iOS Operating System.
Does the word "app stores" here refer to generic stores where apps are stored for any mobile device or Apple iOS specific App Store?
2. Pl refer to point#3 under "PREPARING YOUR BUILD ENVIRONMENT".
(Optional) Obtain the SDK for the mobile platform that you are targeting:
- To build apps for the iOS platform, install the latest version of Xcode.
- To build Android apps, install the Android SDK.
a. The very idea of PhoneGap being not to use native API, why are we falling into this trap? Is there a use case for still using them?
b. What does the word "Optional" mean here? When should one follow this optional step when to skip?
c. What about the other models like Nokia Windows and Blackberry?
Appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Rama.
