I am a novice in Meteor and have never worked with Android or IOS programming.
Currently I am using meteor to develop a mobile-device application.
So I am wondering, is it possible through meteor to develop a complete mobile application,I did some little research and saw that there are couple of packages to implement swipe or send notifications. But what if want to build a solid mobile application, like implementing alarm, snoozing it all? As told already I am novice in meteor and carry no knowledge of mobile development, so any suggestion for good tutorials is also welcome.
Yes sure, you can do that! Meteor supports building cross-platform mobile apps for iOS and Android from version 0.9.4.
To check it just do:
meteor create --example todos
cd todos
meteor install-sdk android
meteor add-platform android
meteor run android
Thant's it!
Actually you can build (almost?)any meteor with using cordova/phoneGap and run in on your Android/iOS device.
For more information you should read: https://www.meteor.com/try/7
Also I would recommend to watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dJLPLWMImw

Some time ago I started experimenting with Electron and the Nativefier tool to test the possibility of transferring web applications to native desktop applications.
Recently, I have begun to wonder if it is possible to use Electron and Nativefier to create native iOS App?
I am not strong when it comes to node.js, but I am very curious about this issue, so thank you very much for all the answers provided.
I would like my thread to be conducted as an open discussion among all of us.

I'd like to create an android app using cordova but every tutos I watched use Android Studio, But the problem is that I'dont have minimal RAM to use it, so is someone has another alternative to replace A.S??
I am new to node js,Is there any common js framework or tool to develop mobile application which support android,ios,windows mobile.
NativeScript might be of interest to you.
You can use ReactNative to develop ios/android app in javascript. For more details please go through the http://www.reactnative.com/
Go to AngularJS and Ionicframework. You can create the cross platform mobile apps. NodeJS only for backend, you can't create the mobile application using node.
The webview+ from cocoonjs gives a huge performance boost to my ionic application that uses a good amount css3 animations. I want to be able to build my application using webview+ from cocoonjs.
The instructions are straight forward and the commands don't throw an error but once I load the application on the device it's still using the default webview.
I'm thinking it has something to do with android.json or the config.xml.
After some more digging around in the java code, it looks like it was completely my fault I was trying to view the application on an emulator. There are issues with the current version of cocoonjs webview+.
Launching the Webview+ inside android's emulator can lead to an application crash. Use a real device for testing.
If I build a cross-platform app using the Intel XDK or jQuery mobile, would I still be able to use Parse.com as a back-end to manage data in the cloud and push notifications?
Short answer is yes, but only up to the point, and to make it clear, I'm talking from jQuery Mobile perspective.
You application will use Parse.com REST API for communication but that's about it. Because you are creating a hybrid mobile app RESTFul (AJAX) connection is only viable solution.
You can of course go for some native solution, using Java (Android) or Objective C (iOS) but you will need to write your own wrapper code that will communicate with JavaScript. This is a bad solution because it brakes the point of hybrid mobile applications (One solution to rule them all).
To incorporate everything you will need Cordova (PhoneGap) as mobile app wrapper. From my knowledge, Phonegap plugin is still no go, so you will need to create your own implementation, which will not be that hard, if you take into account that Phonegap plugin for classic push notifications exist, and you can use RESTFul communication to feed it data.
Also, why limit yourself to those two frameworks? Faster, more native like frameworks exist, so choose wisely (find more information here). Application speed if your first and major concern.
Leave me a comment if you need more information.
Yes, Intel XDK is an HTML5 Development Environment to develop HTML5 Mobile Apps, you can use any HTML5 framework like jQuery Mobile and use Parse.com for back-end for data, for push notification you will have to install Cordova plugin, which is currently not supported in the current version, but will be available soon.
