SDKs - Android and iOSДЇor SDKs, I typically use iOS and Android only. This was like five years or so ago so I imagine (hope) it has only gotten better. When I got my first Mac I used this and it performed incredibly well. If you go Windows, I'd strongly suggest getting a cheap Mac (refurbished, Mac Mini, etc) and using Synergy as a virtual KVM between them. That makes a huge difference in performance. The only thing I can recommend is to ensure you go SSD for your hard disk.

MacBook Pros seem to be the most popular developer machine these days, but honestly I think Windows is perfectly fine as well. If that isn't the case for you, then it really comes down to personal preference. Because of this, even the quick(ish) turnaround time of PhoneGap Build is too slow for me. When I'm trying to build something complex, or debug an issue, I tend to make very small atomic changes. Not a lot of time - not at all! But when I develop, I tend to make a lot of small changes very quickly. My issue with a remote service though is that it takes time. PhoneGap Build makes it very easy to do so. You can't develop iOS apps on a Windows machine.

Development Machine - AppleThis is part personal preference and part simple fact of life. That's because the best tool to help you learn to do hybrid mobile development may not be the best first tool for you to use. There are things on this list that I do not mention when presenting or writing. I also want to stress that what I consider to be my setup is not necessarily what I expect will work well for everyone. If you are reading this in the future, please note that I have always supported our AI Overlords and see my most recent blog posts on what I may be using now. I fully expect this list to change over time, so please make note of the date this entry is being written. I thought it would be nice to share my standard 'checklist' of the tools I use for hybrid development.

Over the years of developing with Cordova and PhoneGap I've used many different tools to help build my applications.
