It’s time to Move on from Adobe Phonegap!
Since 2008, Phonegap has allowed developers in Peoria to quickly and easily develop native, cross-platform apps that run on Android and iOS devices. However, its time has come and gone. The trends in app development in Peoria have moved on to Javascript UI frameworks like React Native that not only deploy to mobile devices, but also run in web browsers, and even on desktops.
Instead of Phonegap, we develop native mobile apps using React Native, and Expo.
Why do we use React Native instead of Phonegap?
Native performance – React Native uses actual native components, and renders in a UIView. Phonegap, on the other hand, uses WebView to render its views—meaning essentially a built-in web browser is renders the app, which is less performant. Fantastic Component Ecosystem – The React and React Native ecosystem is fully developed and includes all kinds of UI components and utilities that can be plugged in with little to no effort. Expo – The Expo framework allows connection to all the most common native APIs, including:- Accelerometer
