Comment on Packaged HTML5 Apps: Are we emulating failure? by groovecoder

I’m interested – what’s your company’s financial model for native, hybrid, and web-based apps?

Last I heard, even the “pure” native app stores don’t offer a sustainable financial model for most developers. (http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/05/ios-app-success-is-a-lottery-and-60-of-developers-dont-break-even/)

Very nice discussion. IMO the factor which governs the success/failure of html5 apps is not the technology itself but it is going to be evolution of the financial model behind these apps that would ensure a proper RoI. Until unless we have a sustainable Appstore like the once with native applications this is not going to last long.

We being a mobile company (http://www.techendeavour.com/mobile-application-development) have done all. Native, hybrid as well as Web (HTML5 based) but still the trend does not seem to shift towards html5.

You're right, of course. My discover-ability arguments are against native apps. I extend them to packaged HTML5 apps because I don't understand why web developers spend time to support these failures of the native mobile platforms - because "everyone wants an app"? Is that a good reason? I don't think so, and some web app developers are showing that even consumers are poised to repatriate the web on their mobile devices. It makes sense to use PhoneGap to use device/hardware features that the mobile browser doesn't support, but a mobile web app at an easy URL kills native app stores for discover-ability.

Disclaimer – I work for Adobe and am a PhoneGap lover.

I’m curious why your two introductory arguments (app discoverabilty and content discoverability) are used as a means to argue against PhoneGap? Those arguments apply to native apps in general. Is there a reason why you have them here in an argument against packaged HTML5 apps when they apply to native apps as well?

As to PhoneGap, one of their philosophies is to actually *not* exist in the future. The team would love to see mobile web get to a point where things like camera access and other hardware APIs are opened up to the web. I think that would be great too, but I can never see it happening completely.

For the Tulsa Web Devs meeting? There’s no cost for it.
