Build cross-platform mobile apps using web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with Applanga, which packages web apps into native containers for distribution on app stores.
Applanga is a cloud-based platform that allows developers to build, deploy, and manage cross-platform mobile applications using standard web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The key value proposition of Applanga is that it enables developers to use their existing web development skills to build mobile apps, without needing to learn platform-specific languages like Objective-C or Java.
Here's how it works: Developers build the front-end UI and business logic of their app using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. This code is then uploaded to the Applanga platform, which packages the web app into a native container with a bridge to access native device capabilities like the camera, contacts etc. This containerized web app can then be published to the iOS and Android app stores. Applanga handles the complexities of multi-platform support and app store publishing on behalf of the developer.
A key advantage of Applanga is that it allows web developers to use their existing skill sets to build mobile apps much faster. And since the apps are hybrid, with most code being on the web layer, it makes it easy to implement updates across all platforms. Applanga also comes with lots of templates and plugins to accelerate development.
In summary, Applanga significantly reduces the effort required to make web applications mobile-ready and publish them on app stores. The use of standard languages also makes later maintenance easier for web teams.
