-
App development made easy with PhoneGap Enterprise: Adobe

development by empowering both marketers and developers. Developers
can build apps across platforms, meet aggressive time-to-market
demands, and support third party integrations. Marketers can easily

reviews and variations without the need for app development skills.
The unique drag and drop functionality ensures that marketers can
easily change and preview app content including images, videos,
interactive and text based content. Updates appear instantly across

iBeacons in sports stadiums, retail stories and other external venues.

users' location near iBeacons including dwell time, entering or
