How to notify users of new app version in build phonegap - android

Hello please I need help, I am developing a HTML5 and jquery mobile app and compiling using build phonegap.
I intend to host the app on my server, now my problem is how do I notify users of a new version of the app and at the same time allow them to update to the new version (as it is done in app store).
I have googled this for two days now and can't seem to be making any head way. Are there plugins I can use?
Suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I've been working with apple developers guides to develop my web app and maybe this can help you if you are working with apples "rules"/ developing for apple users:
https://developer.apple.com/notifications/
There is a guido on how you can make local notifications or push notifications. Also includes all the code you will need.
Hope it helps!
Edit: sorry just noticed that you are working for Android users. Maybe if you look on Android API or their developer program you will find something. :')

migrating/replacing app from phonegap to brand new ios & android native apps

Actually I have a phonegap app that i want to rewrite in native code for iOs & Android. So I don't want that when i release the new version actual users have to download it again, re-install and delete the phonegap version.
I research a little bit about this and i figure that i have to name the bundle identifier as the old one, and sign with the same credentials, and a similar process in android.
Does somebody have experience in this process and can actually give me a hint on what not to forget as i am starting to code the new apps at the moment?
Thank you guys very much!!

How to deploy android app using phonegap (Cordova) desktop and bootstrap

I tried searching about this before posting but I found no answer that works so I'm asking you help.
I've built a website using bootstrap and I've given it a "app layout". Now, I want to use phonegap (or now cordova) to deploy what I made into a .apk android app...
The documentation that I've searched always was very vast and I'm dearly new at this so, if someone could send some guidance I'd be very grateful.
The main Phonegap page has all the info you need.
http://docs.phonegap.com/en/edge/guide_platforms_index.md.html
for all the newbies out there with the same strugles a me:
the real problem for me was on how to install the frameworks of cordova and build the app in it since it's not that user friendly for someone who's starting at this...
I've also found a better framework for phone apps called ionic and a very relevant tutorial here:

Hope it helps.

Titanium and Testflight won't work together

Here's the case:
I'm building an app and distributing it for beta-testers through Testflightapp.com.
Testflight provides a useful SDK, from which you can detect the user's interactions in the app.
The problem is, that although I've implemented the SDK as every tutorial/guide/forum-thread says, I'm not recieving any data..
Here's the data from the file running the testflight sdk. I've tried both the com.0x82.testflight-sdk-module from Titanium's own module-site and the NappTestflight-module (https://github.com/viezel/NappTestFlight).
What am I doing wrong?
(I've tried changing the guid of the app to the app-token and running it with normal guid)
Thanks !
I use this module to talk with TestFlight.
Setup was simple, and it is free. You need to check inside your App on TestFLight to get the correct id.

Develop app just to showcase a website on ios and android

So what I want to do is, "develop" an app where it main purpose is just to open a website. I need that on android and ios. Is there an online website to do just that?
I jused to know a website, where you could develop for various platforms (PHP, Java, Object C for iOs) and even test your code online.
Somehow I can't find it anywhere. Thank in advance if you can either show me the website again or find me a new website to do just that.
Regards!
Update:
Found the website: http://www.programmr.com/
I think you're referencing PhoneGap.
PhoneGap allows you to build native applications using HTML/CSS/JS for all mobile operating systems.
If all you want is for your iPhone App and Android App to open up a website "inside" of the application, you will want to use a webView. This will allow you to have your application listed on the iOS App Marketplace and the Android Google Play Store.
EDIT: This will definitely work on Android. You must get pass Apples app approval process to get on iOS of course.
