Can we develop flex mobile project that runs in both android and iphone.Also I want to know , can we use all the device capabilities of both android and iphone in same project

Yes you can achieve that with the new Flex SDK 4.5.1, then when you develop one app in Flash Builder and then build it on both Android and iPhone or even on Blackberry tablets. You can also add different styles to Android and iOS (for example different colors, buttons, everything...).

For building the actual app you will need an Apple developer certificate or you can always download a fake one from the internet that works just as well.

as the title described my issue , my question seems to be dumb a little ; But because I don't own an Android device , But I published Android Apps using Genymotion Emulators. And I tried to download Unity Remote App on my Emulator but it does not work that well.
So my question here is : Can I use my iPhone device to test and develop the game that will be published to android users?
Yes, it is possible to do that since the Input methods being touches do not differ. The only thing you have to keep in mind is the wide range of resolutions used by android devices.
You can use can use your iphone for testing but jusst for the logic. The performance and resolutions are very different for android. Also if there is any platform specefic code you have written in unity then you have to take care of that.
Besides using your iPhone you can generate an APK from unity and install it on the android emulators to test.
I have the following queries on using phonegap / Titanium appcelarator for our cross platform mobile development
Currently we want to develop iPhone compatible and android compatible app with single source code using the cross platform mobile SDKs
Can this phoneGap or Titanium appcelarator works with single source code on both the iPhone and Android platforms?
also is there any other platform works as such?
And how these application will be relased with Appstore / Android market place since they have single code base ( source code ).
Any helps would be greatly appreciated.
I have tried out Sencha Touch with PhoneGap and also Titanium.
Sencha touch is pretty easy as it is based on javascript and can be used with android and iphone. The app created with Sencha touch can later be wrapped inside phone gap and submitted to the appstore.
Titanium again uses javascript but they do some processing on it. So the app is native.
They do have some common api's that can be used for both iphone and android. But for some advanced features they have 2 seperate sets of api's for both android and iphone.
So both have some differences. And they are both acceptable in Appstore and android market place.
I have not tried Titanium, but one of my friends is using Corona. He said its support Android and iPhone, and easily port over. You will need at least, adjust the image size, AFAIK, the image size for iphone and androids(various size) are different.
Corona: Write once, build to both iOS and Android.
corona concentrates on games. it uses lua. if you want to build a cross platform application you should first design your application cross platform. android and ios are different os with different style guides.
i have experiences with titanium and it worked fine. but i experienced that a cross platform design is important since the most time of building the app was used for programming the user interface. so invest time in building a good mvc design and ui. after that it worked out easily.
Find answers for you question below.
Can this phoneGap or Titanium appcelarator works with single source code on both the iPhone and Android platforms?
Yes It can definitely work with single code base. in addition to this you can develop universal App that can run in tablet and handheld from single code base
(NOTE: however on some point you have to differentiate between iOS and Android as some of the functionalities are specific to iOS or Android System. Titanium provide constants to check between iOS and android. It also provides constants to differentiate between Tablet and Handheld devices)
also is there any other platform works as such?
Other than Android and iOS titanium provides support for blackberry and mobile web platforms also.
And how these application will be relased with Appstore / Android market place since they have single code base ( source code ).
You can build App for required platform from titanium it self.
I'm trying out PhoneGap, so I followed the instructions to create an Android Project in Eclipse.
But now I'm wondering how I can use this same code for building an iPhone app.
Is there something like a hybrid project in Eclipse!?
UPDATE:
I realize now that it's not possible to use PhoneGap on Windows to develop iPhone apps? That's too bad... is there any way to use PhoneGap on Windows to compile for iOS ??
In theory PhoneGap build should allow iPhone development on Windows.
However Nitobi was bought out by Adobe (PhoneGap:Build service may have changed), and you may still need iOS to upload your app (might be able to get around with a jailbroken iOS?!).
A dodgy solution could be to install OSX in a vbox virtual machine :)
No, there is no way to develop iPhone app on Windows using PhoneGap or Titanium.
Because they need iPhone SDK and Android SDK on back-end, which is not possible on windows environment. However you can make both apps on iOS simulations.
I am starting a project with PhoneGap and it will work on iPhone and Android devices. The question is how to implement support for different screen sizes and resolutions.
For example, I have an icon inside the application: small waves to run some action. What size of this icon should be to be shown well in all possible devices (iPhones/Androids). Should I include several versions of the same image?
The same question about text. How can I be sure the text will be readable and will stay in line on different devices?
thank you
If you are a MAC user you could give the new dreamweaver 5.5 a shot. It will structure your app and even build a debug version for testing. You can do this with either the ANDROID SDK or the iOS sdk. Of course, it will work on a PC as well but there is not support for the iOS sdk.
Using the Adobe Dreamweaver 5.5 it has specific mobile framework to recognize jqm or jqtouch and inserts phonegap.js on build into the packaged product. It also allows you to scale the testing screen for the different sizes of mobile devices. From android, iphone, to ipad(and more)
Here is an example: Dreamweaver with phonegap support
I was wondering by using Sencha or JQuery Mobile, is it possible
Is it possible to deploy them as single click install app in Android Market?
Is it possible to deploy them as single click install app in IPhone App Store? Does Apple place any restriction on non-native app deploy through IPhone App Store?
How can I package my HTML, JS and CSS files as one click executable file? That's is, by single click on the icon on mobile "desktop", browser will launch a default HTML file?
Yes, yes, yes. PhoneGap and Appcelerator Titanium are two frameworks that enable all three.
Sencha touch will be the best option for application because its has the support for phone gap to build your application for other mobile platforms and it has large community that help when are stack and its famework is well documented
