[AppPresser](http://apppresser.com/ "AppPresser mobile apps with WordPress") allows you to use a WordPress site as an app, including access to device features such as the camera, contacts, and more. You can create your app completely in WordPress, using themes, plugins, and all the stuff you already know. Developers can use this plugin to make custom apps, or custom extensions for AppPresser. If you are not a developer, please see our website for more information about creating an app with WordPress. This plugin is not an app-creator in itself, it serves as the core for all app development with AppPresser. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8Deew6pif4] Want to contribute to AppPresser?

Upload AppPresser to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress 3. Navigate to AppPresser settings page to configure After installing, optionally add AppPresser theme/extensions, or use the [Phonegap API](http://docs.phonegap.com/en/3.2.0/index.html "Phonegap docs") to create custom apps. == Frequently Asked Questions == Please see our [FAQ page](http://apppresser.com/faq/ "FAQ") for the newest information. = I activated the plugin and nothing happened. = This plugin does not do a whole lot by itself, you need to use our extensions and themes to actually create the app. This plugin is the core development framework for developers to create their own apps or extensions, it is not meant to be an end in itself. = Do I need coding skills to use AppPresser? = Using only this plugin by itself, you will need to add your own code to create the app. If you use one of our pre-made app bundles, like the ecommerce app, you are not required to code anything. = How do I test the app features like camera, contacts, etc.? = Native device features only work on native devices, so they won’t work in your browser. To test this, you need to setup a local testing environment with Xcode (iOS) or Eclipse (Android). You then need a Phonegap project that you can load into your emulator. To test on a real iOS device, you need an Apple developer account and a provisioned device. (Android does not have the same requirements) Please see our website for a tutorial. = Can I make any type of app I want? = Technically you can do anything with an AppPresser app that you can do with Phonegap. That means if you are handy with javascript, the sky is the limit! == Changelog == = 1.0.2 = * Bug Fix: Conflict causing other themes to appear to need an update. = 1.0.1 = * Bug Fixes * Add theme updater and updater API * Better styling for "MP6" = 1.0.0 = * Release into the wild! == Upgrade Notice == = 1.0.2 = * Bug Fix: Conflict causing other themes to appear to need an update. = 1.0.1 = * Bug Fixes * Add theme updater and updater API * Better styling for "MP6" = 1.0.0 = * Release into the wild!
