And because these JavaScript APIs are consistent across multiple device platforms and built on web standards, the app should be portable to other device platforms with minimal to no changes. Apps using Cordova are still packaged as apps using the platform SDKs, and can be made available for installation from each device's app store. Want to Contribute? Detect Orientation Change.
