Mobile SDK + Cordova
This document discusses the Salesforce Mobile SDK and Cordova for accelerating app development. The Mobile SDK provides tools for building native, hybrid, and HTML5 apps on iOS and Android, including OAuth2 for authentication, API wrappers, an app container, and secure offline storage. It also discusses Cordova for enabling native access and a plugin framework in a cross-platform way. Examples are provided for a camera demo, SmartStore for offline data storage, and an NFC example.

Editor's Notes
- #2 Salesforce.com provides a host of Mobile SDK’s – Native, Hybrid, HTML5 – to help streamline your mobile app development efforts.These SDK’s are the fastest way to connect mobile apps on the extended Salesforce platform. In fact, they were designed so you can mobile-enable features from any of the major platforms that Salesforce offers.Mobile SDK’s can be found online at developer.force.com/mobile along with a handy developer workbook.
- #3 Of course, the tools to manage mobile apps and build custom configurations are always right inside Salesforce.Salesforce takes the pain out of configuring custom mobile apps – no 3rd-party developer shops, no 12-month timelines. Just easy-to-use development tools.Salesforce SDK’s are available for building 3 key types of apps: Native apps, Hybrid or “Container-ized” apps, and pure web-based apps using HTML5.-----------------------------------------------There are advantages and disadvantages to each type of application.NATIVE APPS Pros: • Rich user experience capable of leveraging complete native device capabilities such as offline storage and a full library of touch-based gestures. • App store distribution makes apps easy for users to find, download and use. • Proven path for developing mobile solutions. Cons: • Platform-specific. • The same product update must be made for each platform separately – no easy push updates. EXAMPLE: Evernote, an app that requires the full horsepower of a phone to search images, combine text, voice, and photos-----------------------------------------------HYBRID APPS Pros: • Best of both worlds – possesses qualities of both native and web-based apps such as single sign-on, native device capabilities like camera and address book. • Easier multi-platform support – Lightweight, native “container” easier to develop across multiple platforms than a native app. Cons: • Minimal EXAMPLE: netflix. Carries the same, instantly updatable UI on tablets, smart phones, tvs, and DVD players-----------------------------------------------HTML5 APPS Pros: • Fast platform to develop on – abundance of developer resources. • Works instantly across multiple device platforms. • Updates can be pushed instantly to all users – no app updates required Cons: • Cannot take advantage of device capabilities like the camera. • No offline capabilities – connection required 100% of the time. EXAMPLE: financial times, for online article browsing-----------------------------------------------
