From Angular web applications to mobile apps with the Cordova Chrome App toolchain


The Cordova Chrome App toolchain is the newest option in the web application to hybrid mobile app tool space, having only been released to the public in June 2014 at Google IO. It was therefore, at the time of this writing, still in the early developer preview.

Because the Cordova Chrome App toolchain is still in the early developer preview (alpha), I was not able to successfully deploy krakn as a mobile app using the $ cca command-line tool. Nevertheless, the biggest complaint I hear from other web developers who have attempted to deploy a web application as a hybrid mobile application is that out-of-the-box Cordova uses the Android browser to display your application's UI. The Android browser is not to be confused with Google Chrome for Android, as the Android browser does not support nearly as many forthcoming APIs as Chrome does.
