  • What is PhoneGap and PhoneGap Build?

Adobe PhoneGap is a cross-platform, open-source mobile application development framework, that allows developers to build mobile applications using technologies such as HTML, Javascript and CSS (Ratnottar, 2019).

Developers can simply upload these assets to the Adobe PhoneGap Build cloud service, where it is then compiled and deployed to any mobile device such as IOS, Android, Windows and many more (Mathur, 2018).
