Doing PhoneGap Seriously

If you are serious about making a PhoneGap application, especially if you are using plugins, I recommend joining the google mailing list: phonegap@googlegroups.com

I joined in Digest mode, so I get one Email per day, which is certainly not a big increase in your daily commitment, and you will learn a lot. In particular, you will learn about incompatibilities, updates, and replacement options of popular plugins and of PhoneGap and the vendors.

For example:

• Apple dropped 32-bit only apps from being able to sell in their store a few months ago. All iOS apps must be 32/64 bit universal apps.
• The PhoneGap plugin in the HTML5 Builder product is ancient and should be updated..
• Fields we thought we could rely on, like UUID, … well Apple and Google have made them either return nothing or a pseudo-UUID which is not the real one. They don’t want you to snoop on their users.

My book (on Amazon.com) shows how to build a PhoneGap app that stays current with ever-changing PhoneGap and related technolgoies.  If there are additional problems, let me know and I'll comment in my blog.
