PhoneGap helps build cross-platform apps by allowing developers to create web apps that can access native device functions and be deployed across platforms. It works by wrapping web applications within native containers, making them appear and behave like native apps. The tutorial introduces how to use PhoneGap to create a basic "Hello World" cross-platform app that builds a web app and uses extended web functions available through PhoneGap.
