Adobe PhoneGap is a mobile application development framework originally created by Nitobi Software, which was acquired by Adobe Systems in 2011. The open source version is known as Apache Cordova.
History[]
PhoneGap was first developed at an iPhoneDevCamp event in San Francisco and went on to win the People's Choice Award at O'Reilly Media's 2009 Web 2.0 Conference,[1][2] Apple approved the framework for iOS development, even with the change to clause 3.3.1 of the Apple iPhone SDK developer license agreement 4.0 in 2010.[3] The PhoneGap framework is used by several mobile application platforms such as Monaca,[4] appMobi,[5] Convertigo,[6][7] ViziApps,[8] and Worklight as the backbone of their mobile client development engines.[9][10]
Adobe officially announced the acquisition of developer Nitobi Software on October 3, 2011,[11] which was completed by October 25.[12] Adobe and Nitobi then donated the PhoneGap codebase to the Apache Software Foundation to incubate an open source project called Apache Callback.[13] Because "Callback" was perceived as too generic,[14] the project was renamed to Apache Cordova after Cordova Street, the location of Nitobi's office in Vancouver.[13][15] Adobe immediately integrated PhoneGap support into Dreamweaver CS5.5 and began commercializing its own version of the tools as Adobe PhoneGap and Adobe PhoneGap Build on October 25, 2011.[12]
Early versions of PhoneGap required an Apple Macintosh computer to create iOS apps and a Windows computer to create Windows Mobile apps. After September 2012, Adobe's PhoneGap Build service allows programmers to upload CSS, HTML, and JavaScript source code to a "cloud compiler" that generates apps for every supported platform.[16]
