ApacheExcellent tool for the development of multiple platforms2018-08-17T04:06:18.282ZIt is being used by all the company's developers since it allows the development of hybrid applications. Thanks to Cordova, we have managed to develop multiple multi-language applications without the need for more developers. It is very useful because it allows for the centralization of the code; it is written only once and it is executed on all platforms.,Cordova is a very powerful tool for a JavaScript developer, since by simply developing in JavaScript one becomes a general developer of software and applications by implementing web technologies for various environments.
Cordova is not just an HTML application that runs in a browser, it allows you to write native plugins that work with any of the supported platforms, and a JavaScript container will integrate your HTML application with the native code.
Cordova does an amazing job in the field of hybrid application is super easy to use and functional.,It is not completely automatic since if you write individual style information for each platform objective, you can not make Córdova automatically apply the transormation at compile time; you have to change the linked style manually.
The support is deficient in general.
Configuration and use can be complicated as it requires the use of the command line.,8,It has a positive impact in general. Cordova is really a great solution for web developers who want to bring their incredible ideas to devices, but they just do not have a lot of time to put into iOS and Android learning curves.
Our biggest benefit was that the management of images for multiple devices.
Developing with Cordova has drastically reduced the cost of cross-platform deployment.,Adobe Phone Gap,FloQast, 99tests, Apache SparkCarla BorgesApache Cordova review2018-08-17T03:12:45.882ZApache Cordova has significantly reduced our overhead by providing a stable cross-platform tool for porting our web application to Android and iOS devices. Our development team is relatively small here at ShiftWizard so being able to leverage Apache Cordova's technology in order to quickly get an minimum viable product out to our testers was crucial. We were able to understand the documentation and implement Cordova into our existing system and workflow in a matter of weeks saving us time and money that we would've otherwise spent on engineers. There are a number of alternatives but we heard about Cordova through our very talented development team that builds applications full-time. Since incorporating Apache Cordova into our company's technology stack we have been able to catch up to competitors in the mobile space but utilizing the cross-platform technology that Cordova encompasses. We highly recommend using Apache Cordova especially if you are a small to medium size business that needs to grow fast. Cordova is perfectly lean enough for start-ups and strong and stably enough for enterprise applications. Our healthcare software application runs smooth across the board with very little to no latency or UI errors thanks to Apache Cordova. ShiftWizard will continue to use this amazing product in the future.,Runs on the command line in Node
Extensive usability for most platforms
Quality support from Adobe,Needs to be fully compatible with mobile machines
Support for a wide variety of platforms
Needs better backwards compatibility,7,Very economic for ROI purposes
Scalable for code reusability down the road
Convertible, easily switch platforms if Apache Cordova doesn't suit your needs,Adobe Phone GapAndrew ShingletonMy work experience with Apache Cordova2017-12-01T18:02:41.992ZApache Cordova is an excellent tool to develop hybrid applications. Our organizations have developed 6-8 applications with Apache Cordova. Although, we have also published more than 15 applications outside of our organization/ company. The clients are also satisfied because of the highly customizable design with a pre-defined mockup concept from them. We also developed an app for government projects with Apache Cordova.,It is highly customizable.
Very easy to add packages to it. It also supports third-party package installation such as from GitHub or other repositories.
Hybrid application development made easy.
Command line syntax is easy to learn and implement.,Sometimes it's hard to configure VS Code applications with another IDE like WebStrom etc.
Emulators are slow performing.
Sometimes there are version conflicts with the newer codebase.,9,We can develop a hybrid application which saves time and budget.
Need to develop a robust API server to maintain interconnection between an app to the server.
iPhone development is sometimes hard to maintain because their functionality sometimes does not work well.,Ionic, Adobe Phone Gap and XamarinSazzad Hossain SharkarApache Cordova - Leading the way to hybrid apps2017-02-17T17:57:50.049ZI have been using Apache Cordova to develop hybrid enterprise mobile apps for our clients. Cordova has made it very easy to write once and adapt the apps to multiple mobile platforms.,Cordova makes it very easy to develop apps for multiple platforms. The setup is very simple when it comes to creating a project, adding platforms, building and deploying apps. If you have a little mobile app development experience, all you need to know is HTML, CSS, Javascript and only a handful of cordova commands to get started with your hybrid app.
Cordova provides a simple solution to access any and all of the device features through native plugins. You have a host of third-party and cordova plugins available to use device features like filesystem, camera, health kit, location services etc. You can also write your very own plugins and use them for your cordova based apps.
Cordova is free to use! The only cost you will bear is the individual mobile platform developer program enrollment cost to deploy your apps to those platforms.,Cordova app code runs inside a webview component. So, expect the performance to be a little slower as compared to the native apps. This is more noticeable on older devices though. It is hardly noticeable when it comes to newer mobile devices.
Crashes can be hard to debug since the crash logs will not point you to the culprit javascript code. This is not a limitation of Cordova alone. Any other hybrid mobile app development platform suffers the same problem.
Even with tools like Safari debugger and Chrome debugger, it can be tricky to measure graphics and animation performance. Achieving smooth animations can be a bit of a challenge sometimes with hybrid mobile apps in general.,10,Development timeline for making Cordova apps targeting multiple platform is lower than developing individual native apps for each platform.
Its easy to learn and set up. Coming from a native app development background, the learning curve for me was fairly small to get started with my hybrid app.,AppceleratorVerified User
