MoSync has announced the first step in its roadmap to offer an enabling cross-platform app store solution based on open source technology and industry standards.
Given the lack of standards within the mobile application ecosystem, developers are still struggling to develop and publish applications across hundreds of incompatible handsets, says MoSync. We identified the problem caused by lack of standards more than five years ago and we have since worked to create a solution solving the problem within both development and distribution, says MoSync CEO, Dusyant Patel. MoSync creates openness in this space and enables any small or large player to launch a complete cross platform app store. This revolutionizes the mobile application and app store space and enables access to mobile applications for billions of end-users.
The first step in the roadmap was the recent launch of the MoSync cross-platform development tool, which enables third party developers to create and publish mobile applications across a broad range of devices and platforms. Coming steps include the launch of a complete solution, including an app store client and a server solution. The technology will enable any player to launch a complete cross-platform app store solution within 24 hours and with close to zero start-up costs, says MoSync.
The company adds that its technology is open for all players and will include a complete cross-platform mobile application workflow, with all components needed, including development tools, a server solution and an easy-to-use app store client. Further, the solution works across all major mobile platforms and devices and thereby eliminates the problem of fragmentation within both development and publishing of mobile applications.
