Cross-Platform Development for an online Food Delivery Application

Popular use of various mobile operating systems like android and iOS, applications in these sectors are getting more significance than ever. Since each of these platforms requires different types of programming knowledge, developers need to spend much time and cost to build app for separate platforms. So, in order to mitigate these problems, web based solution can be used. Cross-platform development is useful because user can write their code in one language that can easily be compiled to multiple platforms, i.e. platform independency can be achieved. In this case, we use a food delivery application, where the application front end is developed using PhoneGap as well as AngularJS, jQuery mobile for optimum performance and backend is developed for web services using PHP, JSON and MySQL. We introduce approaches in the field of cross-platform app development using PhoneGap framework. A soultion to build applications for multi-platforms using PhoneGap framework which use web technologies HTML, CSS and JavaScript has been proposed. Thus, time as well as cost of developers will be reduced.
