All is in the title of the question :
Why do not provide the "Compile With CrossWalk HTML5 WebView for Android" feature in PhoneGap Build AND PhoneGap CLI ?
Okay, Intel is not Adobe, and XDK is not PhoneGap, but :
* full HTML5 featured Android applications need to be packaged with crosswalk HTML5 webview to run properly on android < 4.3.
* Crosswalk Webview is a free and open source software and it already exists crosswalk-android project
* Intel XDK Software do it !
I LOVE phonegap and phonegap build, almost for its CLI and CURL features . But I HAVE to use XDK to build by Apks within crosswalk webview. It is a fact.
I think You MUST do it. Why a search with "crosswalk" in the comunity topics return no results ? It seems crazy to me.

I agree. CrossWalk is essential for deploying hybrid apps to Android devices.

Hi guys, I just spoke with someone at Cordova and this will be available with PhoneGap 4, expected near the end of the year. 3rd party webview engines will be available as PhoneGap plugins at that point, and barring any unexpected barriers, we should be able to make these plugins available on PhoneGap Build.

Probably not.
PGB3.7 has been released this week (according to blog post; no announcement in this community). It contains alternative UI for iOS but no Crosswalk.

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Crosswalk or similar solution to lack of smoothness.
On Intel XDK I had an option to build using Crosswalk for Android. This solved a big problem on Android where there was a lack of smoothness with animation. Using this option it built wonderfully and was very very smooth.
I see there isnt an option on PGB for this, having looked at some threads I see its not coming any time soon.
So Im wondering are there any other known solutions available at the moment that allow for a vast improvement in animation for Android?
Thanks

The only way i found is to use ionic framework. It have the option to add crosswalk webview and works pretty well, although the entire project have to be compiled locally.

Crosswalk is now supported as a plugin in Cordova 4.0.0, so now it's up to the Build guys to step up! Please let us know!!

Hi!I do not understand how Adobe does not give an answer, and makes working with CrossWalk Build Phonegap.
Other free platforms (XDK Intel) provide support for compiling with CrossWalk.
Many programmers are paying to use Phonegap Build.
There are serious not yet have this option in our platform, in Phonegap Build
regards

I have to say, I never saw worse support for a paid product. This is so unprofessional that I would never rely on this for any critical apps.
