Moving from PhoneGap to Cordova.

5/1/2012

The folks who use to be at Nitobi, bought by Adobe, decided to make the PhoneGap product open source.  This is basically good news for smartphone developers as the product that was known as PhoneGap and now to be referred to as Cordova provides a useful interface to many of the native phone features needed to develop a world class phone application.  

The move to the latest release of Cordova, 1.6.1, proved difficult.  See this thread. In order to work around some flaws in that release it was necessary to move to the latest release candidate, 1.7.0rc1, which worked much better and resolved the issue discussed in the thread above.  I think as developers we just need to give the maintainers of Cordova some time to work out the kinks created when PhoneGap became Cordova.   Of course, that will mean some late nights for us all.

Overall, Cordova makes it easier to attempt to support the many smartphones available today.  It is a nice companion for the developer who is trying to take a Web centric approach in their development of mobile applications as is being done at GeoSyncracy.  (How to move to Cordova (Android) is here.)

I'm an experienced software engineer whose career has spanned three decades. Over the last few months I've focused on learning the technologies required to develop mobile applications and deploy them on the major smartphones sold today. I've developed the skills necessary to build these cross platform apps. You can ask me more about that here or use the Contact form and I'll reply but remember, I'm a very busy guy.
