Blackberry, Symbian, and WebOS will not be supported by PhoneGap 3.0

  • Updated 5 years ago
With our upcoming release of PhoneGap 3.0, after upgrading you will find that several of our platforms have disappeared from view. Blackberry Webworks, Symbian, and WebOS are no longer part of the open-source Cordova project, and thus won't be supported by PhoneGap Build.

For the time being, users will be able to build these platforms by downgrading back to 2.9.0.

Currently no concrete plans to support Blackberry 10, but a possibility in the future.

erm... surely the whole point of phonegap was its ability to port to major smartphone platforms??

Why release 3.0 if it doesnt support things such as BlackBerry???

Sure, the goal of PhoneGap is cross-platform apps. However, our Build Service is built upon the open-source PhoneGap / Cordova service, and Blackberry Webworks (the framework used to build BB apps on 2.9.0 and below) has been deprecated and is no longer included in the PhoneGap framework as of 3.0, so there is no PhoneGap Blackberry Webworks 3.0 for us to build.

That said there is a Blackberry 10 PhoneGap platform. We would like to add this to the PhoneGap Build Service infrastructure, however this is non-trivial and we currently have no concrete plans for this.

It would be appreciated if another look was taken at Blackberry 10 support. I currently have to build Blackberry 10 locally which defeats the purpose of build.
