Note: Sadly, Adobe is discontinuing support for PhoneGap Build. We're working on building a course around a different option to help you publish to mobile apps without having to code.

Keith Gilbert guides you through every step of the app creation process, so you can create a mobile app without coding.

In this course, you'll learn how to

  • Export your InDesign content with in5 so that it's ready for a mobile app
  • Obtain developer certificates & provisioning profiles to test & distribute your app in stores
  • Create icons & splash screens
  • Test the app on your devices

If you want to create a mobile app, but you're not a programmer, this course is for you.

This is the Basic version of the course, meaning it's just the videos.

If you want Exercise Files, Discussions, and Downloadable Transcripts; check out the Premium version of this course.

You can also get Basic or Premium access to the entire library on Ajar Academy.
