Anyone have experience with/opinions on Apache Cordova? [1] It seems like it would solve most of the PWA issues. Although I vaguely recall reading that Apple is not too fond of apps that are basically just wrapped web views. [1] https://cordova.apache.org/.

A little over a decade ago, I worked on the open-source project Apache Cordova/Adobe PhoneGap, first at IBM and later at Adobe. Apache Cordova enables you to build mobile applications using HTML, CSS and JavaScript while targeting multiple platforms with one code base. In today’s technology landscape, mobile is dominated by iOS and Android. In the early 2010’s we were awash in mobile platforms from BlackBerry,…

There are layers that offer access to native APIs like capacitor, cordova and nativescript. Apparently sometimes multiple of them should be used, but I didn’t understand what are the differences even after reading the announcement. These seem to be frontend agnostic technologies and Capacitor is apparently the more modern choice at the moment.

To be honest, we have not only Capacitor but also Cordova which Capacitor is based on but because Capacitor is more popular, has better community, deals with some problems better, and works beautifully with Ionic Framework I will tell more in a second, I simply recommend Capacitor.

Apache Cordova is an example of this. It is also useful if you need to access native code (the camera, database, etc), or to use just as a WebView Container as an application to deploy to the Play store/ App Store.

I’ve had a lot of success with Vue + Cordova.

Consider looking into the Apache Cordova framework. I’m not experienced with the framework or mobile development as a whole, but the framework looks like it supports cross-platform and would allow you to easily convert your existing mobile codebase into a mobile app.

To have a bona fide app in the Apple App Store and Google Play stores, wrap it in Cordova.

PhoneGap is Apache Cordova now. But it’s not going to be a solution to your problem.

Since Ionic is based on the popular Apache Cordova framework, Ionic applications are hybrid HTML apps. On mobile devices, they run in a special environment (UIWebView for iOS and WebView for Android) that displays HTML and executes JavaScript code. Thus, the application launches like it would in a browser.

There are wrappers, to basically make a little application that has a web browser and bundles up web apps as applications. Apache Cordova can do that, mostly for android and iOS but you can also use it to do that for OSX and Windows 10: https://cordova.apache.org/ / https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/10.x/guide/support/index.html — but these are pretty technical options that aren’t going to be easy to use unless…

Apache Cordova: If you know, or want to learn, web design, Cordova is what you want to go with as you can make native iOS and Android apps with this. Here are all the features they support by platform.

I don’t know how relevant this is nowadays but Cordova could probably do what you’re looking for.

Browser games can be played on desktop or mobile devices; they may also be compiled to native mobile apps by using third-party tools such as Cordova. It’s important that your 2D game has a responsive layout. Phaser has a Scale Manager that handles scaling, resizing, and alignment; it also has a full-screen mode. When using PixiJS, you need to create a responsive layout manually. This can be tricky with more…

The first such equalizer was the creation of PhoneGap by Nitobi in 2011. It was later acquired by Adobe, which turned it into Cordova. Cordova is a cross-platform open-source mobile app development environment. It allowed you to write apps using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, converting them into code that interacted with the platforms’ APIs. Sure, it provided cross-platform interoperability, but the platforms still…

And if you need an app to go in the store, there’s things like Apache Cordova (formerly Phonegap) that let you package a web app as a mobile app.

Aside from Xcode? Xcode is great, but pretty heavily scoped with a steep learning curve. If you like a lighterweight IDE, you can use Atom – but there are so many ways to deploy to iOS these days if you don’t want to do the heavy lifting of learning Swift or ObjC – for instance React-native, for instance. Or Cordova (remember when it was PhoneGap? Given you do not appear to know what you are talking about – no, I…
