Abstract
Technologies are disclosed for generating and publishing multi-platform application binaries from hosted websites or website source code. A developer can provide source code for a website or a link to a hosted website and identify target platforms for which application binaries should be created. The website is then modified for optimized presentation on devices on the specified target platforms. For example, page layouts, menu styles, image resolutions, and other aspects of the website can be modified for presentation on a mobile device, a tablet, a set top box, or other type of device. Source code is then generated for the target platforms that includes a web view component for rendering the website. A cross-platform compilation service then compiles the source code to generate native applications for the target platforms. The generated applications can then be provided to the developer or automatically submitted to application stores associated with the target platforms.
