Mobile development with VS2013
-
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.

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

I need an app that will automatically deliver a new BBBBBBBBaBB (beautiful blonde bimbo brandishing bountiful bobbing bare breasts and bodacious butt) every day. John Simmons / outlaw programmer

Microsoft acquired the company last month and there are rumors/hopes that the next version of VS will include this in the higher editions.

As today there are two options... 1. Apache Cordova - free, but uses JavaScript 2. Xamarin - cost money, but uses C#
Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

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.

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