London, UK (PRWEB) November 15, 2012
Application Craft, the web based visual development platform, today announced the availability of AC Mobile Build, as well as new pricing and a compelling new website interface. Based on Phonegap/Cordova technology, the new AC Mobile Build feature will enable users to convert any HTML5 web app into a cross-platform native app for iOS, Android and Windows Phone, with a single click. Being cloud-based, it frees the developer from the considerable complexities of installing and maintaining Phonegap/Cordova and multiple native compilers.
Apps compiled with AC Mobile Build can be deployed immediately to App Stores. Apps have access to device capabilities such as the camera, GPS, address books, file system, etc. The Mobile Build platform also handles Certificate generation, freeing the user from further complexity and from requiring a Mac.
With Mobile Build, Application Craft has addressed a temporary shortcoming of the Phonegap Build platform by providing support for many of the most popular Phonegap/Cordova plugins (Push Notifications, On Device Database, Barcode Reading, In-App Purchases, etc.), most of which are currently not available with Adobe’s PhoneGap Build. Application Craft will actively curate these and additional plugins in the future.
With every feature that we add to our platform, we are focused on eliminating the complexity of app creation, said Freddy May, Founder and CEO of Application Craft. We are huge fans of Cordova and Phonegap Build but our customers have been demanding plugin support as well as tighter integration with our own development platform. AC Mobile Build helps us better meet their current and future needs.
