Hi,

In Captivate 8 and 9 it is possible to publish directly to an app. The app provider used is Phonegap. I have tried to install it and get started but it is not that simple, maybe I am doing it all wrong. It seems like you need to know java to be able to build your own app, is that correct? I thought it would be much easier to use this function. Can anyone explain to me how it works, please?

I am using Windows 10 and I don´t get the opportunity to publish for Windows devices like Windowsphone.Perhaps it works in Windows 8 like it is described in the Adobe Help pages. Android and IOS is no problem on Windows 10. Can anybody help me?

You can follow the following steps for Publishing using phone Gap,

for android

1)Login into Phone Gap from Captivate using your Adobe ID.

2)Provide version, name and Package in the associated fields.

3)Go ahead and publish.

4)Once the publish is done go ahead and scan the generated QR code.

5)Follow the link,your app download will begin.

for iOS

follow the same steps, but make sure you have the key and the certificate associated with your developer account updated on the phone gap site.

Thanks,

Aditya

Hi,

Thank you for your reply!

I still don't get what I need to do in Phone Gap before publishing?! Do I need to know HTML or Java (because i don't), and what is a Package and how do I get a key and certificate? Can someone please explain in detail what I need to do and if it is possible to use Phone Gap without knowing HTML or Java? Do need to create my own app in some way?
