Generally, there are three types of mobile application development, which are native mobile application, cross-platform mobile application and hybrid application. However, there are numbers of mobile devices that runs with different operating systems and languages in the current mobile market. Android and iOS is the most leading representative as the whole of current market. Developing application in different platforms has generated many problems, a lot of time; cost and man power is needed if there is no significant porting work. In order to avoid re-implementing the same type of application separately to fulfil the diverse platform needs, several tools are proposed. For example: XMLVM, PhoneGap, PhoneXML, DragonRad and RhoMobile, each with their own strength. Cross-platform is necessary in current mobile market. Besides that, we have proposed a cross mobile platform for Android and iOS games development using XMLVM.
