Start developing a ionic mobile app with Appery.io Cloud Platform

Image
In my previous post, I described some details of the Appery.io platform for developing hybrid and web apps. In this post, I show details of creating a mobile app and viewing it on iPhone 6S. The details are also available on the Appery.io site but here in you will get to see the step by step screen shots. If you have followed my posts on Intel XDK ( http://hodentekmobile.blogspot.com/search?q=intel+xdk ) , you will have no trouble in following this post. With Intel XDK not supporting some of the editing features Appery.io editor seems to fill in the void. I will explore it a little further to see how far this is taken. First come first. You need to first sign up here: https://appery.io/account/signup Go to your email and confirm your account. Once you have the account you can build.

User Interface templates in Intel XDK

Image
Using templates is the easiest to start off designing apps with Intel XDK. Intel XDK provides a number of layouts and templates for designing apps.  Layout_UI.png If you have been using apps you must have come across apps that use many of these types of apps. For example an earlier post here discusses the List View Template in detail and this link describes the Tab View in detail(). We will explore the other templates in future posts.  The Ionic Framework Starter template uses the Ionic Frame work and AngularJS and you can design apps for desktop, smartphones and tablets using Standard HTML5. Ionic Framework is supposed to provide native-app like feeling for UI and is based on HTML5 and essentially a front end beautifier.
