Ionic & cordova & visual studio 2015 deploy

hi guys,

i've visited microsoft advanced days today and one of the topics was cordova and ionic apps.

i've noticed that the lecturer used cordova and ionic to build some app and deploy it to android phone.

after that he showed that you don't have to have ionic application, and visual studio has cordova app that can be deployed, directly to emulator, apk built, and signed and so on..

so it got me intrigued - what if i add (which is easy) cordova plugins in my json file there, fix my index.html and add my html exported game there in files, can i build it to a cordova and make it all work without using any wrappers?

what does that mean? does it start chrome browser then when ran on chrome? Ashley

also this guys...

caught my eye

That should work just fine on Android 5 and higher. But you need crosswalk (or similar) for older Android versions, cause they are old, shitty and no one ever cared to update them with new features properly so raw cordova builds can have issues on some phones with Android 4.x

but it also says that android 5.0 doesnt' support webGL :

i'm just wondering if arc could be a good runtime for android.. i think most of people today are 4.0+ though

..android 5.0 doesnt' support webGL...

thats not true

Any Android 4.0+ device running Chrome should be able to use WebGL, unless the device's GPU has been blacklisted for being unreliable. Crosswalk is still important for Android 4.0-4.4 support.
