you don't need to pay for phonegap. just download the archive and compile locally. this is what i intend to do personally and target only ios8

even if you untick the spalsh screen option in XDK, sample splash screen files will still be included in the apk which makes no sense

splash screens and icons is a MESS in the latest XDK. the generated apk is filled with default splash screens that you have no way to change before you generate the apk

the produces a lot of extra files and bigger filesize

for now it seems they don't have any intention of streamlining that

if you want native learn to code native

there are many graphical sdks these days to speed up dev time and learning something like c++ will look good on your CV

early last year i made an html5 productivity app and i wrapped it with phonegap for ios

all i had to do was download the phonegap zip, run a script file on mac, and compile using xcode

i did not have to download megabytes of files, install thousands of sdks etc

the final app was 1.5mb in size!

i don't know if things changed from 2013 to now. i see that now phonegap is a product of adobe. is cordova the same thing?

what kind of talent do you bring to the team?

are you an artist yourself?

what kind of talent do you need?

where can i email you the text and screens about my game?

i remember using phonegap last year for an html5 productivity app i did. the app was only 1.5mb in size!

Phonegap will take over as the main wrapper for ios8 and Android L

isn't the BB appstore phasing out and the Amazon store replacing it?

the new system with icons & splashscreens is not really optimised

the generated apk has a lot of additional splashscreens & icons included that you have no control and options to change

there is a lot of redundancy, and bloating
