Mobile development with VS2013

I didn't even know there WAS a mobile forum.

If you need nice looking/doing App, dont even look into cordova. We did try few things but I got totally bored with it. I'd prefer three different environment and do native dev. The app you mentioned looks fairly simple , you can do with : *VS2013+WindowsPhone SDK *Android Studio *Xcode/Objective C
Starting to think people post kid pics in their profiles because that was the last time they were cute - Jeremy.
At this point, it doesn't appear to need to be "nice looking".

We are doing something similar. We are targeting Windows Forms, ASP.NET, iOS, and Android off of the same source tree (all C#) using the Xamarin tools for the mobile stuff. Xamarin is not cheap, it is like 900 a year or something like that, but it works great. It is integrated with Visual Studio and also has its own Xamarin Studio if you want to use that. Our source code is structured so that the only differences from platform to platform is the UI source. Of course, there are different project types for each one, but we have been really successful with it. Another thing to consider with them is that Microsoft is buying them, so it might end up with being a native toolset for Visual Studio. You do need a Mac for the iOS development, unfortunately you can't get around that.
It's approximately $1000 an year per developer per platform. So if 3 devs target iOS, Android, Windows Phone, that's 3*3*1000.

That's overly expensive.

Seriously? You've never looked at the menu to the left, or used the dropdowns at the top?
Reading menus is like asking for directions, and is generally shunned with alacrity.

It's starting to look like I'm going to be forced to do some mobile development (and I already hate the prospect, so please don't attempt to assault me with sugar-coated platitudes). I need to target Android, iOS, and WinPhone. The app will have a single screen with a "go" button. When the button is pressed, the following will occur: - a QR code will be scanned - the phone's current geolocation will be determined - the app will open a browser with the address indicated by the QR code, with the GPS coordinates being in the querystring. This app will only work on a website that I'm writing (the URL from the scanned QR code will be verified to make sure the host/domain matches a hard-coded string). I explored the possibility of installing the app without going through the various app stores, but I determined that the procedures for doing so are too technically imposing for the assumed expertise of your typical idiot user, not to mention apple actually charges a fee to do this. So, I need to go through the various app stores. The app will be free to the user, so I may have a running ad at the bottom of the screen so that I can recoup any money spent (albeit slowly). Can someone give me an idea as to what will be involved, in terms of money, tools, and effort?

When you pry the gun from my cold dead hands, be careful - the barrel will be very hot. - JSOP, 2013It seems to be a rather simple app. I suggest you using a hybrid approach (JavaScript...). Take a look at Telerik App Builder. Their products are good. Also they have automatic submission to app stores. As far as I remember it was free and it really saves time.

Telerik App Builder: Wow - $1800/year? It appears like it's just a paid version Cordova...

At $1000 per supported platform, Xamarin is ridiculously expensive.

When you pry the gun from my cold dead hands, be careful - the barrel will be very hot. - JSOP, 2013John, Have a look at NSBasic (www.nsbasic.com). It's an outfit out of Canada that has a tool for developing to mobile devices. I haven't gotten deep into it, myself (I wrote an HP Calculator simulator in it, and it works nicely). I'm not even touching what I think it's capable of. The thing will allow you to develop to the app stores or do it by deploying the app to a server (not quite a "side-load" but it seems to work pretty well). It will develop to a number of different devices and formats and is in active development. I think these guys are really onto something, and it only costs $99, I think. It really shows some promise, IMHO. -CM

Xamarin has a free version of their app and your's sounds simple enough to use this version. Xamarin is perfect for cross platform development in C#. You can use a hackintosh for The Apple version.
