Hi Everyone,
I am very new to this forum and PhoneGap/Cordova development. Recently started working on Embedding cordova for Windows platform.

When I add wp8 platform from command line, there is warning saying wp8 is deprecated and use windows platform. Now, I am worried to embed cordova in my application. Please suggest me cordova solution for below items:

1. I have Windows Phone 8 c# application, I want to integrate cordova for few pages. Like charts, etc...
2. I have Windows 8 c# application, I want to integrate cordova for few pages.

I can see "Item 1" is possible but it is deprecated. and I didn't find any useful information regarding "Item 2", I can only find WinJS approach which I can't do.

I see cordova interested/working to support wide range of platforms. I feel Windows 8/10 should be supported like other platforms(android and iOS). If we understood, The Windows Legacy solutions are converting to UWP apps with a simple MS tool. The Windows Legacy solution and future UWP are written mostly C#/C++. Currently We are supporting Windows 8 with WinJS framework.

I don't know what is the answers for above. I just put my words to the Cordova for Windows. Please let me know the possibilities?

Thanks,

@Pallam,
sorry for the late response. I'm moving on to other projects.
If you still need help, please reply.

On your responses, thanks for the extra clarity.

Okay. This forum is intended for Phonegap Build, a cloud-based build platform by Adobe/Phonegap. It does not require downloads. The only download is a completed app; otherwise you upload.

For you issue, you need to use Google groups for Cordova/Phonegap or the new Adobe forum - https://forums.adobe.com/community/phonegap.

Any Questions?
Jesse
