Ruben L. Smeets, Kris Aerts · Lirias · 2016
Cross platform mobile application development using web technologies has traveled a long way since its inception back in 2008-2009. Frameworks such as Apache Cordova/Phonegap or Appcelerator enabled web developers to reuse their exiting development skills to build applications for a wide variety of mobile platforms and opened up app development to a massive community. Since then many technologies have been developed: some failed, some succeeded. In this paper we provide a comprehensive overview of cross platform tools using web development technologies and identify trends that emerged from this landscape.
