Since the release of the Salesforce Mobile Packs a few weeks ago, we’ve been building out from our initial set of jQuery Mobile, AngularJS and Backbone.js apps for Visualforce, Node.js and PHP. If you’ve been watching the Backbone Mobile Pack on GitHub, you’ll have noticed the recent addition of a couple of XCode projects in [...]
With a hybrid application, using JavaScript to build your application doesn’t mean you have to forego accessing important aspects of the native device like the camera. Here’s a quick overview of how a hybrid application uses the Cordova project to bridge between web and native.
With the announcement of Salesforce Platform Mobile Services comes a new set of developer tools called Mobile Packs.

Our Mobile SDK features a great bit of technology called SmartStore, which allows for secure offline storage of data. SmartStore’s core goal is fill the void for encrypted data with HTML5 development, but that doesn’t mean native code can’t access the same features. Via HTML5, SmartStore is connected with a Cordova plugin – so when coding in Objective-C we just need to refer to to same libraries directly.
Snuck into the office of Model Metrics to talk SmartStore with Tom Gersic before his upcoming webinar with Shawna Wolverton on Painless Mobile Applications. Check out the interview and some more details on how SmartStore works to keep your offline data encrypted for your mobile applications.
