Does PhoneGap just use UIWebVIew or is it doing something more then that?
Can it take advantage of Apples Nitro VM?
I’m currently exploring the choices for porting our javascript app to native. I’m researching PhoneGap and Titanium, trying to figure out how they differ.
Thanks for any insight.
Yes PhoneGap uses a UIWebView but it is highly customized with lots of custom javascript which gets injected into the page.
No as it uses a UIWebView it doesn’t gets to use the NITRO javascript engine.
Edit: Apple corrected the fullscreen web apps bug however they did not fix it for UIWebViews as that would let normal apps mark memory chunks as executable (security risk).
