Hey, in the last weeks, i made some expierence with PhoneGap / Apache Cordova. At first, it looks like a really nice framework with much potential. I want to say thanks for your hard work!
As a student (Business Informatics) i want to take a deeper look. At the moment i write a small (ca. 12 pages) term paper for my university. For this task i`ve looking for an _official_ picture / description about the internal Phonegap architecture and how it is build in the different platforms. E.g. on iOS: Does ist "only" open a modified UIWebView and provide some interfaces for the phone APIs (through the modification)? (i know, this sounds a little bit "to simple"). Or on which way it works? And what about the other mobile os? If you start a google search about "Phonegap architecture" [1] you find mane _different_ pictures. But i found no official _detailled_ description. During my research i found a blog post from Andrew Trice about "PhoneGap Explained Visually". [2] This post is a good _overview_. But this is far from a detailed description. Okay, i know. If i want information which are the current state, the source is the way to go. But perhaps anyone has blogged about his "way through the source"? _How_ is phonegap able to provide native mobile device features (like camera or device information like uuid) through the nate UIWebView (iOS) or android.webkit.WebView (Android)? Thanks for reading and have a nice day, Andy [1] https://www.google.de/search?q=phonegap+architecture&hl=de&tbo=d&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=ixeyUNabApHOsga9poD4DA&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAA&biw=1440&bih=758 [2] http://phonegap.com/2012/05/02/phonegap-explained-visually/
