Our “8th” (8th-dev.com) is a relative newcomer, but does mobile, desktop and server as well. Check it out!

I found Adobe AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime) the best way for Cross Platform Mobile Development. But there are number of another interesting solutions. I’ll do the development with other solutions also. Thanks Jsonmez for very interesting and knowledgeable post, I have learned a lots from this post.

Any Mobile Cross-platform development article that lists frameworks but forgets to mention AIR is really misinforming the world.

http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2014/04/air-app-installs-cross-a-billion.html

A Billion Installs for AIR, NOT the Flash Player (which actually has more), is truely an indication of the vast amount of developers using and producing apps with AIR. Many of the top iPad apps on the store right now are built with AIR.

Using Starling/Feathers with Stage3D you can easily achieve 99% close to Native performance….even on first generation iOS devices. Not to mention AS3 is OOP and extremely clean and easy to use.

In reply to jsonmez.

A ton of applications are built with AIR alongside some of the Adobe stuff as well.. native extensions are also a huge power for AIR as you can include native libraries to do specific things on top of the AS3 code.

Not to mention that aside from Xamarin, AIR will be far smoother and faster application running on Android and IOS when compared to PhoneGap and Appcelerator. HTML5 is terrible for mobile development. End of.

I would recommend EVERYONE to avoid it as much as possible. Xamarin/AIR/native dev are really the only things you want to use to build native apps.

PhoneGap and Appcelerator are great for simple simple apps that do one thing and don’t require a lot of visual elements and transitions. Even with CSS3 and hardware acceleration of css it’s not really ideal because hardware acceleration on iOS, Android and Windows Phone are all different performance and smoothness and really drop in performance as you have a lot of visual elements in the UI. This doesn’t happen with other frameworks including AIR. AIR for example is fully GPU accelerated even if you use traditional display list with AS3.

Thats a joke, right? AIR is the fastet way of developing cross plattform in a clean OOP manner. And that its beeing used quite a bit is shown here for example: http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2014/04/air-app-installs-cross-a-billion.html
