Use the Visual Studio Tools for Apache Cordova to build apps that run on iOS, Android, and Windows devices.
To use these tools, choose the Apache Cordova feature when you install Visual Studio. If you've installed Visual Studio already, you can always add the feature later.
You'll need a computer that runs Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, or Windows Server 2012 R2. You can use Windows 7 if you want, but if you do, you won't be able to target Windows or Windows Phone devices.
