Build native mobile applications using HTML, CSS and JavaScript

Google introduce early developer preview of a toolchain to build native mobile apps using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. The toolchain based on Apache Cordova, an open-source mobile development framework.



The toolchain wraps your Chrome App with a native application shell and enables you to distribute your app via Google Play and the Apple App Store. We provide a simple developer workflow for packaging a Chrome App natively for mobile platforms. You can run your Chrome App on a device or emulator using the command-line or an IDE. Alternatively, you can use the Chrome Apps Developer Tool to run your app on an Android device without the need to install an IDE or the mobile platform’s SDK.
