Hi,
We are building tourism app and the option to build for Win32 and OSX is quite compelling. We are however using technology like MapView, WebView, Flurry for example.
Do you plan to offer support for those in the v1 release on Win32 or OSX ? Or we do not plan to support those at all ?
Thank you for your reply.

The question you’re asking is like shaking the magic 8 ball and it keeps coming back with the “future is unclear”.
The reason we have these for mobile devices and not the simulator is they require SDK frameworks that are available on Mobile Operating systems. I’m 99.9% sure there is no Windows x86 based SDK. Sure you can build something around Google Maps web service. I know OS-X now has a maps app, but I’m unsure if there is a drop in SDK for developers to use. Now that said, you could potentially use network.request() to implement something now.
I can see the importance of having native.newWebView() handy and if that were available then you could very easily implement Google Maps. Maybe the Engineers can chime in on the feasibility of a web view.
Flurry is for mobile apps only. They only have iOS and Android SDKs. They don’t provide a way for Windows or OS-X to access their service. I’m unaware of, so this may simply not be possible. Google Analytics seem to be happy doing mobile apps, even though it’s primarily a web analytics but you probably could use network.request() to implement GA.
For other things on OS-X you can use CoronaCards for OS-X and implement them as you need them.
