We have delivered mobile applications which are in production with the help of Ionic framework (http://ionicframework.com/ ) on top of OFBiz . Experience so far is good and ionic community is really active , growing and helping community.
As Ean mentioned, " *you no longer render pages on the server and send them to the client. **To behave like an actual "app" you need to approach it as a program written in Javascript that renders HTML interfaces locally and communicates with the server using a combination of JSON-RPC and REST.* " This is really important point here when you are building mobile apps. Jacopo also have done improvements in OFBiz, with the help of them you can call OFBiz out of the box services and events as APIs . Services and events are able to accept Json and return Json in OFBiz which will help you to build mobile applications on top of OFBiz. Thanks -- Divesh Dutta.
