APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM WITH NATIVE FEATURE ENGINE

摘要

A framework for developing applications is described herein. The framework may be a web integrated development environment (IDE) with a preview function via a browser. The IDE includes a native feature runtime engine with plugin application programming interfaces (APIs), such as Cordova APIs. Browser implementations of the plugin are also provided. The browser implementations enable a hybrid application to be previewed in the browser and access native functions without crashing the IDE.

1. A computer-implemented method for developing an application, comprising:
developing a project application using a web integrated development environment (IDE) with a preview function via a browser, wherein the project application includes a hybrid application using native features of a mobile device; selecting the preview function for previewing the application in the IDE; and in response to the selecting the preview function,
invoking a native feature runtime engine, wherein the native feature runtime engine comprises plugin application programming interfaces (APIs) of the mobile device, andrunning the project application in the browser, wherein the project application has access to local resources through browser implementations of plugin APIs provided by the native feature runtime engine.
