I am planning to develop an mobile app (my first one) for multiple operation systems (including Android, IOS, WindowsPhone) - in the wild internet I found a framework called phonegap, as a possibility solution to minimize the development process. I understand the advantages phonegap has - but could not find real downsides... 1.) So the question is why should I not use phonegap?
2.) Is phonegap only slower, because it is wrapped inside the OS, if yes how much slower? I mean can you really tell the differentce between a native app and phonegap, or is only slower when you need hardware acceleration e.g. for gaming?
A few more informations about the project. Currently I have several '.Net' services and provider, communicating via WCF. The App should be able to receive and send video streams and audio data from and to a service, such as a provider would do.
3.) Is it possible to use phonegap for that, or shall I stick to native apps?
