Phonegap:build sounds like a dream come true, code once release on all mobile platforms.

But what are the limitations? Issues?

I’m looking to develop a QR scanner application, this requires jquery QR api, and some ajax. I will also need access to most of the hardware on the phones(camera, geoloc, flash, etc)

I know that phonegap:build is still in beta, but are there anything I should know about it before starting on my project with it?

    Well PhoneGap Build doesn’t currently allow you to add in your own plugins and if you want QR code support you’ll need to add the BarcodeScanner plugin.

    Android BarcodeScanner on GitHub

    BlackBerry BarcodeScanner on GitHub

    iPhone BarcodeScanner on GitHub

    So you’ll need to build your application using Xcode or Eclipse if you need this type of functionality….
