Development tool provider appMobil has announced its free XDK cross-platform product is now available on the Chrome Web Store.
With a single HTML5-optimised development interface, XDK is designed to make it easier for developers to target web and mobile platforms including iOS and Android within one tool.
The build environment includes debugging tools that enable testing with on-screen emulation, local on-device and remotely without requiring ad-hoc builds or security certificates.
Write once
"Most developers want to create apps that can easily be deployed to different platforms with a minimum of rewriting," said Sam Abadir, appMobi CTO.
"We designed the appMobi XDK to make it very easy for a developer to check how their app will look and feel on diverse hardware platforms."
As well as XDK, appMobi offers a number of cloud-based services such as user authentication, in-app payments, rich media push messaging, user analytics and live app updates. XDK is also fully compatible with the open source PhoneGap HTML5 project.
You can find the XDK on the Chrome Web Store here.
