I would like to publish my web application for free in the Google Play store (for the exposure).
All descriptions I found so far are for native apps. Is it possible to submit a HTML only app ? How would an example manifest file look and how do I sign such an app ?
You'd have to create a webview using Android Java libraries, and then display your webapp inside of that webview. Normally if you're not doing Java you'd want to do something like PhoneGap.

so how can i do that so that later on i can built and publish my app to playstore currently i have implemented to share only a demo link as simple text "Link to my app"
Share.share('Link to my app');
but i want to change it something like
Share.share('https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.whatsapp');
The best approach is to make a http request to get link from a remote server. This way you can change it whenever you want it. Also. Because your using flutter. You can change the link based on platform. So if its on android put playstore link and if its on iOS put the appstore link.
I am new to PhoneGap and Mobile Application Development. I want to create an application using PhoneGap so that I can get Android, iOS, BlackBerry versions of the same app.
I have installed PhoneGap in my windows 7 Desktop using tutorials given in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqFpfrUrMM4
I have some questions regrading PhoneGap:
Can we create multiple pages(HTML Files) or we only have index.html single file?
Can we use jQuery UI plugins, Mobile jQuery UI and other iQuery plugins? Will PhoneGap cloud service be able to convert to mobile app?
I have created Hello World example and uploaded zip file to PhoneGap and it converted to Android, Windows app but for iOS app it shows error certificate(P12) and provisioning file. I have windows 7, how can I get that legally? (My friend has Mac book. I can use it)
I want to launch app to Play market and iTunes but I have no idea what I need to do after uploading zip to phonegap.
I will really appreciate if you can provide me with the suggestions, steps that I need to take or links that would ease whole process.
Thanks!
You can make multi-page apps with PG. All of my apps are.
You can use those plugins. If they work on a regular web site, they'll work in PhoneGap. PhoneGap Build should be able to package all the scripts as one app, as long as the content is within their guidelines.
You need a Mac to get it. This page gives a lot of directions: http://centuryware.wordpress.com/2014/10/30/how-to-create-and-test-ios-apps-on-phonegap-build/
You'll need to sign up for a Developer account at https://developer.apple.com/devcenter/ios/index.action to upload an app there, and a Google Play account at http://developer.android.com/index.html to upload to that store. Once you sign up, read their docs. It can get pretty involved on the Apple side.
I have developed a responsive mobile version of a website like m.example.com. I was wondering if it is possible to upload the icon on Google Play and App Store which when downloaded by users opens the website in their mobile browsers.
If not, is there any other quick alternate way to have the mobile version of the website as an app?
Take a look at http://phonegap.com/
In the config.xml file, you can set the homepage of the app to be an external source.
I am a .NET guy, so I am developing apps for WP7.
On Windows marketplace, they do not approve applications if it only opens a
WebBrowser control and a mobile website in it. You have to write main functionality with Silverlight, C# and XAML.
For android I just want to use m.myapplication.com in a WebView control,
so as soon as you will open app it will show that url to you.
Will this application be OK for android market? Or will they require me to write
java code to fill the content?
P.S: I also wonder is there any basic android template that I can take for eclipse, and fill url for my mobile website, and it will run on my phone?
There is no "review" process for any apps that get uploaded to the market (other than checking to see that they are signed with a valid release key)
So yes you will be allowed to upload your app to the market. Even if it is just a webview pointing to a mobile site.
I know of no such template, but that doesn't mean that one doesn't exist. if you search around online for things like "Android WebView example" and have worked your way through the Hello World tutorial you should be able to implement your webview without too much hassle.
Short version:
Are there any web sites people have developed that harness PhoneGap functionality that are available on the web?
Long version:
PhoneGap allows developers to package a web site inside a native app. It also allows developers to have a PhoneGap webview embedded as part of their application. They can then point this PhoneGap integrated webview at any url, and use it like a browser.
I cannot develop web sites myself so I want to know if there are any web sites on the internet that use PhoneGap features.
Thanks
Not wrong. In order to access the Phonegap API the Phonegap App must be installed on the device. The content inside the App can point to a website, that's correct. But that does not change the fact that you need to download and install the App first.
I have two Phonegap Apps in the Apple App Store so I know what I am speaking of.
PhoneGap has a section on their website dedicated to mobile apps that were built using it:
