Even as PhoneGap application development is an excellent way to create applications that can be run on cross-platform devices, the road to it is fraught with challenges. However, once you partner with a right type of technology company like Space-O, the same challenges become opportunities to tap in.
Let us then discuss some of these challenges disguised in opportunities in the path of PhoneGap application development.
Expertise in cross-coding
When a developer undertakes PhoneGap application development, she needs to have thorough knowledge of HTML5 and CSS3 for rendering. She also needs to know JavaScript to build the logic of the app. This requires years of rigorous training and experience.
However, a 2.9 PhoneGap released in June 2013 eliminates the need of this synchronization between JavaScript, HTML and CSS, as it offers a single point to obtain independent and platform specific code. In that sense, the complexities involved in developing PhoneGap application development have been reduced considerably; a mobile application development company still needs to be careful in their choice of developers.
PhoneGap enterprise apps and their integration
There is no question that to go for PhoneGap application development means to make the vision of a simple, re-usable and efficient app into reality. But, when an enterprise wants to reach out to millions of its users using an app developed on PhoneGap technology, it has to have the app that interacts with multiple data sources in a secure environment - both online and offline. For this to happen to things are expected from a mobile application development company: expertise in custom coding and integration of the app into present business environment. It also requires developers to be able to manage and maintain the apps across various operating systems of multiple devices and back-end systems.
In order to make this happen, you need to partner with mobile application development company like Space-O who can turn these challenges in opportunities and create an app that reaches millions of your users. Have a look at the reasons why you need Space-O for your PhoneGap application development.
Faster upgrades - a great challenge to meet head on
This is indeed a great challenge that needs to be met head on and with an eye into eye. This technology moves incredible fast and release almost a new version every month. And, this is where the role of PhoneGap developers who know all the three - JavaScript, HTML and CSS become extremely crucial as they can understand what is required in PhoneGap application development to match the upgrade.
So far, this speed has not changed. But, the cost of upgrading PhoneGap has been reduced tremendously. PhoneGap app developers are not required to recreate platform environments manually. At times, upgrade is just a few commands away. In that sense, PhoneGap application development has become easier and can be coped up with by brilliant mobile application development companies such as Space-O.

Hi Krunal, This was an informative post. A lot of us like to blog on the move and the technical guide that you have mentioned here will help us with that. I am using phonegap application for Android is an app that I use every day. I basically use it to track the stats and approve/reply to readers comments. It’s all new material design is amazing. Evernote and Google Keep are really good options for note taking. I often use Keep together with Google Now. Also, we have an app called ‘Snapseed’ from Google which is a very good photo editing app. Do give it a try. Again, good post and a lot of phonegap developer will find this helpful. Keep up the good work. Cheers! Aabharan
PhoneGap, now lets developers leverage standard web technologies such as CSS, HTML and JavaScript to build mobile apps. Designers who know CSS and HTML can create fantastic mobile friendly user interfaces and developers can focus on functionality and performance.
