I started to play around with appMobi last week.
So far from what I have learned there are quite a few steps nothing to technical though.
You can just drop a html5 game build into there XDK after you install it and start a new project.
Then you need to add a script to the <head></head> tags of your index html page so that your game can call the appMobi JS library:
<!-- the line below is required for access to the appMobi JS library -->
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="http://localhost:58888/_appMobi/appmobi.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
// This event handler is fired once the AppMobi libraries are ready
function onDeviceReady() {
//use AppMobi viewport to handle device resolution differences if you want
//AppMobi.display.useViewport(768,1024);
//hide splash screen now that our app is ready to run
AppMobi.device.hideSplashScreen();
}
//initial event handler to detect when appMobi is ready to roll
document.addEventListener("appMobi.device.ready",onDeviceReady,false);
</script>
After that you will be able to view , and test your game on the appMobi emulators that are built in.
You also will have to provide appMobi cloud service with some graphics for a icon, loader, etc. These will all depend on what type of device you want to build for.
Then to make a build you will have to register for a couple services, create, and provide emails but the appMobi XDK will walk you through all these steps.
I did manage to make a successful game build, and downloaded it to my Android phone but when I ran the game the loader screen appeared then once it was loaded all I got was a black screen. The same game works with the phone gap build but not the appMobi build. There must be some more mods that need to be done to the html5 game build to make it work beyond there emulator. I will keep playing around with this maybe I will figure it out.
Here is a link to there beginners tut:
Getting Started
It covers installing the XDK, and getting it all up and running. If anyone figures it out before me please post your solution here.
