Cordova

Cordova is essentially what you use to build a mobile app using web tech (html, css, javascript).

There are easier ways do this like PhoneGap and Intel XDK. The issue with those solutions is that you're relying on an offsite build server/service to turn your source code into the final product.

With Cordova, the build process can be done completely in-house!

This usually comes up because of security concerns.


If you're set on building a mobile app with web tech, this is probably you're best bet.


This being written in 2020 though, I would really ask that you consider building a PWA instead.

PWAs can handle much if not all of what Cordova can do these days, and are a much friendlier build process...
