PhoneGap Desktop App For Mac

The PhoneGap open source framework has been designed to help build cross-platform mobile apps while relying on web technology and multiple programming languages, such as JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.

The project comes with a CLI interface that enables you to create, serve, compile and run mobile applications. At the same time, the PhoneGap Desktop App represents an alternative to the command line that eliminates the need to deploy dependencies or manually input commands.

For your convenience, PhoneGap Desktop App comes with a collection of project templates and offers you the possibility to set the local storage path, the project name, and optionally an ID.

Each project can be compiled and served to all the devices connected to the desktop app. Worth mentioning is that the project comes with the PhoneGap Developer App that is available for the iOS, Android, and Windows Phone platforms.

To create a connection between your Mac and the mobile devices you want the test the PhoneGap projects on, you need to install the appropriate apps on both devices and make sure that they use the same network. Just input the PhoneGap server address in the mobile app, and you should be able to connect in no time.

Within the PhoneGap Desktop App app you get to see the server log, get control over the server port, and decide if you want to send anonymous diagnostic and usage data. Other than that, PhoneGap Desktop App does not provide other customization options.

In fact, the best part when it comes to the PhoneGap Desktop App project is how simple and uncomplicated it is to work with the application. The desktop client relies on the same libraries as the command line interface but does not make the user install dependencies or type complicated commands.

Bottom line, PhoneGap Desktop App can help you get started with the PhoneGap framework in a matter of minutes without having to worry about dependencies or the correct command line commands.

PhoneGap Desktop App can connect with the PhoneGap Developer App for mobile and serves your projects to the connected devices in no time, as long as you input the correct server address on the other side.
