С Webix вы можете создавать веб-приложения, которые будут работать одинаково хорошо как на мобильных, так и на декстопных устройствах. Однако данные приложения по-прежнему будут html5-приложениями. Для разработки нативных приложений вам понадобится такой инструмент, как PhoneGap.

PhoneGap – бесплатный фреймворк с открытым исходным кодом. С PhoneGap вы можете разрабатывать мобильные приложения со стандартным веб-API для всех используемых вами платформ. Кроме того, Phonegap работает на базе HTML5 и позволяет создавать нативные приложения для всех основных мобильных ОС: IOS, Android, Windows Phone и других.

В этой статье мы опишем процесс создания простого нативного приложения с помощью инструментов Webix и PhoneGap.

Получить окончательный код приложения можно на GitHub.

With the help of Webix you can create a web app which will work equally well on both desktop and mobile devices. However, it still remains only an HTML page. In order to create a native app, you need some other tools.
