UPDATE FOR CUSTOMERS USING PHONEGAP AND PHONEGAP BUILD

Adobe I/O
Follow

Aug 10, 2020 · 3 min read



PhoneGap’s goal has been to bring the full power of the web to mobile
applications and enable mobile developers to create performant apps with a
single codebase. Since the project’s beginning in 2008, the market has evolved
and Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) now bring the power of native apps to web
applications. PWAs are increasingly bridging the gap between web and native
mobile apps through capabilities such as offline support, push notifications,
home-screen icons and full-screen view control without the need for containers.

In the context of these developments and declining PhoneGap usage, Adobe is
focusing on providing a platform that enables developers to build, extend,
customize and integrate with Adobe products. Today, we are announcing the end of
development for PhoneGap and PhoneGap Build and the end of our investment in
Apache Cordova. The PhoneGap Build service will be discontinued on October 1,
2020.

To ensure a smooth transition for your mobile app through the PhoneGap end of
life timeline, we have developed the following options:

 * Apache Cordova, the open source fork of the PhoneGap project will continue to
   exist and offers a great pathway for most developers. Refer to the Cordova
   getting started guide for building locally as an alternative to PhoneGap
   Build and using Cordova-based tools as an alternative to the
   PhoneGap-specific workflows.
 * We have worked with Ionic to help customers with the transition experience
   and to enable them to continue to build their applications in the cloud.
   Refer to this documentation for best practices on moving your application to
   Ionic Appflow.
 * There are also a number of alternative products to which you may want to
   consider migrating your PhoneGap app including:
   - Monaca (refer to their PhoneGap Migration Guide) & Onsen UI (front-end UI
   framework)
   - Framework7
   - NativeScript
   - Ionic Capacitor
   - Progressive Web Apps

Q. What will happen to existing mobile app content developed with PhoneGap?

The project (mobile app content) created by PhoneGap is compatible with Apache
Cordova. Please refer to the getting started guide for setting Cordova up on
your development machine.

Q. Can I continue using PhoneGap after Adobe discontinues its support?

PhoneGap will remain free and open sourced, however it will not be actively
developed. Gradually, as iOS and Android operating system updates are released,
the PhoneGap tooling will become incompatible with the latest version of Apache
Cordova. Additionally, hosted services will be removed as soon as Oct 1, 2020.
We recommend migrating to Apache Cordova to stay up-to-date on the latest
releases.

PhoneGap Build, however, is not an open sourced project so this offering will be
unavailable starting on October 1, 2020.

Q. What happens to my file stored on PhoneGap Build after October 1, 2020?

The service will be shut down and all stored files will be deleted. All data
must be retrieved by September 30, 2020.

Q: What other open source initiatives is Adobe supporting?

In addition to Adobe’s continued investment in the Magento platform and Magento
open source community, Adobe recently open sourced its React Spectrum libraries
and tools to help developers build adaptive, accessible, and robust user
experiences for web applications.

The PhoneGap and Apache Cordova team at Adobe will continue to develop open
source tools and libraries as we work to make open source communities an
integral part of Adobe’s developer platform.
