Mobile Application Development

Sybase Unwired Platform supports multiple options for development and deployment of mobile applications.

Two primary development paths, each with one or more application archetypes, or development modes, are supported:

Development using Sybase Mobile SDK. Three different archetypes are supported: Object API Applications, HTML(5)/JS Apps, and OData SDK Applications. All three provide access to core application services, application specialization, and HTML(5)/JS within the development SDK. Native code development is needed for business logic and the device user interface.
Development using a 3rd party SDK, such as Sencha or PhoneGap, with appropriate modifications to use the Unwired Platform REST API. With this option, all development takes place outside of Sybase Mobile SDK but uses the REST APIs to access core application Web services exposed via Unwired Server.

Sybase Mobile SDK
Sybase Mobile SDK supports the development lifecycle for Object API Applications, HTML5/JS Hybrid Apps, and OData SDK Applications.
REST API Applications
Applications developed using 3rd Party SDKs, such as Sencha and PhoneGap, for any device platform, and using any programming language that supports sending and receiving HTTP messages can use the Sybase Unwired Platform REST APIs to call services provided by the Sybase Unwired Platform Runtime.
