[sandeepm744005]

Hi, recently, i have got sandbox access for AEM - Mobile, i am not able to find any major difference between apps -> phonegap and AEM - Mobile (new system) aka DPS. Please let me know if you have any article link to explain the difference? already gone through the quick start guide for AEM - Mobile but did not get cleared my doubts.

Hi

As mentioned by Scott, please reach out to "https://forums.adobe.com/community/experiencemanagermobile".

But some good reference for you to start:-

// AEM Mobile handles content distribution, CMS connections, out-of-the-box navigation and a bunch of other things.  Comparing to phonegap is like comparing apples to the water, earth and air that goes into the making of an apple; with phonegap, the sky's the limit, but you gotta build all of it.  With AEM Mobile, there's pretty significantly less flexibility, but you have to do significantly less of the basics yourself.

// What is the relationship between Adobe PhoneGap, Apache Cordova, and Adobe Experience Manager Mobile?

Apache Cordova is an open source framework that allows you to create mobile apps using standardized web APIs. Adobe PhoneGap is an Adobe distribution of Apache Cordova in a similar way to how WebKit is the engine that powers Chrome or Safari. Apps that are created with Adobe Experience Manager Mobile are native code that can be extended with Apache Cordova plugins—enabling our customers to extend their apps with custom plugins created by developers.

Adobe PhoneGap Enterprise was an enterprise mobile app solution that became known as Adobe Experience Manager Apps, all of which is now part of Adobe Experience Manager Mobile.

I hope this would help you.

Thanks and Regards
