HTML/Javascript code packaged as native apps allows for cross platform mobile development - but there's still a nuisance: the yak shaving exercise of installing and maintaining the SDKs of all target platforms, and running the builds. There are solutions to fix that: Rhohub for Rhodes, Apparat.io, and PhoneGap/Build.
Rhomobile today announced Rhodes 2.0, their cross-platform, Ruby and HTML/Javascript-based framework for smartphones apps. New features include bi-directional HD video and audio streaming and a new metadata framework to work with changing backend database schemas. Also, Rhodes is now completely free of charge and licensed under an MIT license.
Rhomobile has released Rhodes 1.5, the Ruby based, cross-platform, smartphone app-framework Rhodes. InfoQ asked Rhomobile CEO Adam Blum whether we still need native apps when we have HTML 5?
