Other build platforms in XDK?

Hey guys,

So I'm a bit confused about moving away from CocoonJS. I have installed the XDK, imported my android project and can see Crosswalk for android, android, iOS, Windows 8, as well as some legacy platforms.

Whats the deal?

Cheers

So I see crosswalk is just for Android and Tizen => https://crosswalk-project.org/

I also read here that the other platforms use Apache Cordova* 3.x APIs => https://software.intel.com/en-us/html5/xdkdocs#477358

So are they using phonegap? or something else? If so what's the performance like?

Bump!

This is something I have been wanting to know as well

https://software.intel.com/en-us/html5/ ... -build-tab

Read this to understand better.

vitorfgd You know that link has the same information that I posted above? I know the other platforms use Apache Cordova* 3.x APIs, but want to know if this is their own implementation or if they are using phonegap?

I have posted the question on their forum => https://forums.html5dev-software.intel. ... =28&t=7425

IntelRobert Any ideas?

I'm sorry, actually I passed the post quickly and did not see this link. But well, they do not use the phonegap, Intel acquired and improved services, and tools of appMobi company.

And that as far as I know, had nothing to do with phonegap. So much so that if you tweak forum, the compatibility with phonegap has been recently introduced.

Sorry again for the mistake XD

vitorfgd Thanks, that is the information I am after. Now to research appMobi performance...

As far as I understand, they bought the appMobi XDK (Legacy XDK), which already had its own build. After purchase, they introduced the cordova to "Intel XDK" which from that moment began to have compatibility with Phonegap.

The build of Ios (Legacy Hybrid Mobile), which perhaps have been updated, I believe it is still there since the time of appMobi.

May be some mistake about it, but I think not.

vitorfgd ok thanks I'll keep digging.

Hi Ashley

So I've been doing a lot of catching up on XDK and phonegap to find out what it's all about. At present it seems to me that Intel's XDK offers the best overall package. Since you can develop, emulate, test, debug, profile and build android with crosswalk. Android, iOS and WP8 with Cordova 3.x. It all looks very easy to use and you also don't have to pay an adobe subscription. However, I've not got to the point where I have actually done a build or any performance measurements between Cordova and PhoneGap.

I want to know your opinion? Do you know anything about the performance differences between Cordova and PhoneGap? or things one offers over the other? I imagine the performance is pretty much the same and the biggest difference are the available plugins?

If Cordova is any good will you also be creating plugins for it? (Ads, IAP, etc)

Kind regards,

Wyrm

Cordova basically is PhoneGap. One's the open source name and the other is Adobe's name.

We currently only officially support Crosswalk on the XDK, but since it's free for the other platforms as well, hopefully we can add support for them as well soon.

Ashley Thanks for your input. Supporting the other platforms would be awesome!
