WordPress is a set of PHP scripts running on a web server. So your application needs a web server, a data base and PHP. I don’t think this is possible on all of those platforms.

    @Alex No, sorry. Also, I think, web apps are the future. Managing separate apps for every platform just doesn’t pay off.

  • So an app can be created in order to be used in all the platforms the same?

    An offline app probably not. For online work you just need a mobile interface. There are already some apps which do that.

    @Alex You can make your online interface work offline too. But it is still an interface written in HTML, CSS and JavaScript delivered by a website, not something the user has to install.

To build it you can use hookpress or the json api. You would need to built a stand alone app and then query wordpress for the info you want, using the above two plugins makes that a lot easier, in effect you turning wordpress into an API.

An update to this post since I comes up via the googles:

Java for WordPress xmlrpc.

    I don't know any tutorials, and this is not the place to ask for work, any developer with mobile experience could do this, my advice look from someone that lives near you and go meet them.

  • @wyck The only problem with JSON API is that it afaik doesn't support custom post types.
