PhoneGap allows developers to create mobile apps using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript that can be deployed across iOS, Android, and Windows platforms. It provides a single code base, rapid testing and deployment, and access to platform-specific features. Submitting an app to the Apple App Store requires a $99/year developer account, creating certificates and profiles, building a release version, filling out app information, and submitting for review. The Android Market (now Google Play Store) requires a one-time $25 registration fee and uploading the compiled APK. The Windows Store charges $99/year and uses Visual Studio for creating projects, editing app manifests, capturing screenshots, creating app packages, and uploading for certification and release.

1. Framework :
As we are planningfor all theplatform( iOS,Android & Windows) so we can use Phonegap framework as it's the
best solution for all three platforms together. We have a good number of great Phonegap Developers.
PhoneGap, also known as Apache Cordova, is a technology that lets programmers build a mobileapplication and
then wrap itin the PhoneGap framework that can be installed as a nativemobileapplication acrossmultiple
mobiledevice platforms easily.
Benefits:
1) Just need HTML5/CSS/Javascript skills vs Objective-C or Java.
2) Single code base for allplatforms (iOS, Android,Windows 7,mobile web)
3) Rapid testing and deployment
4) With Phonegap, you can still take advantage of distribution and integrated payment via the App Store or Android Market
