Build iOS, Android and Windows Phone 8 hybrid apps using a single pure HTML5, CSS and JavaScript codebase.
AppBuilder™ is an Integrated Cloud Environment (ICE) that eliminates the complexity associated with cross-platform mobile development. By combining the convenience of a local development environment with the power and flexibility of the cloud, AppBuilder lets you build hybrid mobile apps for multiple mobile platforms. From developing a single code project to publishing it as separate apps to Google Play or App Store – AppBuilder facilitates the entire app development process.
If you are a beginner user, you can learn how to run the AppBuilder Windows client or the AppBuilder in-browser client on your system, and build your first project based on our sample apps. Advanced mobile app developers can learn how to enhance their projects by adding plugins and cloud backend services or check out the code analysis and code refactoring features of AppBuilder. Avid Microsoft Visual Studio users will learn how to set up their preferred desktop IDE to use the cross-platform mobile development features and cloud services that AppBuilder provides.
Mobile App Development with AppBuilder
AppBuilder is an Integrated Cloud Environment (ICE) created to enable web and mobile web developers to target the most relevant device platforms regardless of the operating system they are using. As a cloud-based development environment, AppBuilder abstract away the platform dependencies, enabling developers to focus on their ideas and the content of their applications, not the management and configuration of their development environment. By leveraging Apache Cordova—an open source framework for mobile devices—AppBuilder enables developers to use their existing skills in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, LESS, and TypeScript to build compelling applications for the most relevant mobile platforms, including iOS (iPhone, iPad and iPod) and Android (phones and tablets). The integrated device simulator enables developers to rapidly iterate their ideas and see their changes the way they would look and feel on iOS, Windows Phone 8, and Android devices without having to deploy their application to physical devices. When the time comes to see the application running on a real device, AppBuilder has integrated device deployment making it easy to move from a simulation to the real thing. As development continues, AppBuilder LiveSync™ synchronizes changes in the code editor with the AppBuilder Device Simulator and all connected devices so they can be instantly viewed without having to rebuild the project.
AppBuilder is being built to eliminate the complexity associated with cross-platform mobile development. As a cloud-based development solution, web and mobile web developers no longer have to worry about downloading, configuring and managing SDKs. All of that is managed in the cloud. For the first time, developers can focus solely on writing the code that brings their ideas to life, and those ideas can reach users on the most relevant device platforms in the world. AppBuilder has integrated support for Apache Cordova (formerly PhoneGap) that lets you build compelling applications that run natively on the Apple iOS and Google Android mobile platforms, and take advantage of the device capabilities, using nothing more than HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, LESS, and TypeScript.
