I was interested in versions of <a href=\"http:\/\/cordova.apache.org\/\">Cordova<\/a>\/<a href=\"http:\/\/phonegap.com\/\">PhoneGap<\/a> used, as well as what device platforms were targeted. I had 30 responses over just under two weeks. Note that this survey closed on the 29th, before <a href=\"http:\/\/cordova.apache.org\/blog\/releases\/2013\/10\/02\/cordova-31.html\">Cordova 3.1 was released<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the results.  (Some questions allowed multiple answers, so the number of responses may exceed 30.)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What version of Cordova\/PhoneGap do you mainly use?&#8221; A solid majority was on a modern version, either 2.9 or 3.0.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1345\" alt=\"Which version of cordova do you use?\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mooreds.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/which-version-of-cordova-do-you-use-300x168.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"http:\/\/edit.mooreds.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/which-version-of-cordova-do-you-use-300x168.png 300w, http:\/\/edit.mooreds.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/which-version-of-cordova-do-you-use.png 756w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What device platforms do you target?&#8221; The vast majority of respondents target iOS and, to a slightly lesser extent, Android.
