Summary


WaveMaker makes mobile development easy with its PhoneGap feature. The PhoneGap feature produces a ZIP file of the application's webapproot configured for the PhoneGap build service by Adobe at https://build.phonegap.com/. The build service compiles our application into a hybrid application that can be run natively on common mobile devices such as Android and iOS.

In this chapter, we discussed how to produce a mobile application using this feature. We examined the differences between the cloud build service and performing our own local builds of mobile installation packages. We also took a peek inside the phonegap staging folder and looked at how we can use this folder to customize the application.

This completes the deployment section of our journey. In the next and final chapter, we will take a comprehensive look at application debugging in WaveMaker. In debugging our applications, we will bring everything we have learned together and learn how to tackle any problem we encounter...
