PhoneGap is a web platform that exposes native mobile device apis and data to JavaScript. PhoneGap is a distribution of Apache Cordova.
This distribution includes a ready to use Visual Studio project template.
However, is still required a bit of manual operations:
- Locate the folder where you expanded the PhoneGap distribution, that is cordova-X.Y.Z (where X, Y and Z represent the version number of your Cordova).
- Zip the all content of the \lib\windows8\template sub folder.
- Move this zip file to \path\to\your\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Templates\ProjectTemplates\JavaScript\ folder.
When you open a new instance of Visual Studio 2012 and select File->New->Project, you will see the PhoneGap project template.
