Hi Greg,

 

Thanks for your valuable feedback.

Multi-Device Hybrid Apps are Visual Studio tools for Apache Cordova which is a single project integrated with Orubase Mobile JavaScript framework that allows web developers to build mobile applications for iOS, Android, and Windows platforms  within Visual Studio itself.

Yes. Orubase-Cordova App contains project files for all the supported Native platforms under “platforms” folder which is placed under application’s root directory and it can be opened and modified in the platform specific development IDE (Eclipse for Android, Xcode for iOS, and Visual Studio for Windows Phone).
