Windows Phone 8 App Development using Phonegap

Question

I want to develop windows phone 8 app using Phonegap. I have used phonegap for Android and iOS and it works fine. As per my research, I have found some prerequisites to develop WP8 apps using phonegap are:

1. Node.js
2. Windows phone SDK
3. IE10
4. A 64-bit version of Windows 8 Pro
5. Windows Phone SDK
6. Visual Studio 2012 Professional, Premium, or Ultimate

I have windows 7 installed on my system. My question is: Can I develop WP8 apps using phonegap in Windows 7. I have not found any material regarding this. Thanks.

Answer 1

When developing locally (ex: using Visual Studio, the Cordova CLI, Ionic CLI, or PhoneGap CLI local builds), these are the requirements per MSDN re: Windows Phone 8.0 SDK:

Windows Phone SDK 8.0 requires 64-bit Windows 8 Pro or higher. You can't develop Windows Phone 8 apps on Windows 7, on Windows Server 2008, or on Windows Server 2012. The Windows Phone 8 Emulator has special hardware, software, and configuration requirements. For more info, see System requirements for the emulator for Windows Phone 8.
