[Ovmsdev] Fwd: Re: App for Windows Phone?

[Christopher Cook]

I've thought about this before but not being an OVMS user means I just 
don't have the motivation (sorry!)

A long term cross platform solution would be to develop using Xamarin 
then much of the (C#) code could be shared across platforms. A basic 
shared UI can be done using Xamarin Forms but the tricky part of an OVMS 
app isn't really the UI, it's the server comms/decoding/encoding.

Another alternative is allow an HTML UI for the app (as we use for Open 
Charge Map) which would require a native Cordova plugin for each 
supported platform to do the low level comms/translation. The plugin 
would expose a high level api to the app to pass in/out JSON objects 
that the javascript based app can then use.

Alternatively a full HTTP or Websockets based server API that any app 
can use would remove the need for a native component (standard 
javascript can't talk to normal sockets).
