Application development environment for mobile device with gesture-based coding

A system for software development, the system comprising:

• a mobile device connected to the computing device for receiving code for an application written by a code editor in a browser environment of the computing device, the mobile device having a processor that executes an application development environment capable of compiling the code, wherein the processor determines if the mobile device is to compile the code locally in the application development environment and wherein the mobile device also comprises a transceiver that cooperates with the processor for transmitting the code if the code is unsuitable for being compiled locally on the mobile device;
• a code-compiling server that is remote from the mobile device, the server having a communication port to receive the code transmitted by the mobile device, wherein the server compiles the code to build an application, and wherein the server transmits the application back to the mobile device;
• and
• wherein the mobile device, upon receiving the application from the server, is configured to install the application and to execute the application.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code which when stored in a memory and executed by a processor of a mobile device causes the mobile device to:

• receive code written using a computing device connected to the mobile device, the code having being input via a code editor in a browser environment on the computing device;
• determine if the mobile device is to compile the code locally in an application development environment residing on the mobile device;
• if the code is to be compiled locally, then compile the code in the application development environment residing on the mobile device;
• execute the application on the mobile device;
• otherwise, transmit the code to a code-compiling server remote from the mobile device to enable the code to be compiled by the server to build the application;
• receive the application from the server;
• and
• execute the application on the mobile device.
