Question

We are about to develop an web application using ASP.NET MVC4 and an android application in which we will use Phonegap. Those two applications will be connected with each other. We found out that Ruby is a prerequisite Windows environment. Is it true that Ruby cannot be avoided? Please help.

Answer 1

Ruby has nothing to do with android development on windows using Phonegap. Here’s a setup guide for phonegap on a Mac:

You don’t need Ruby at any stage for Android in Windows or Mac.

Here’s the official getting started guide which covers both windows and mac set-ups:
