That's starting to change however.** iBuildApp, for example, recently announced that its source-code for iOS and Android mobile apps is now open source, and [available on GitHub](https://github.com/iBuildApp) to be used freely by the mobile development community. Developers will now be able to see how iBuildApp mobile apps work and create custom app features such as templates and widgets, which can be added to their own apps (or, presumably, to the iBuildApp marketplace and offered commercially). The company previously released source code for features (mobile widgets), a mobile SDK, and introduced the ability to sell PhoneGap and Javascript widgets last year. iBuildApp has been quite popular among 'Net professionals and has been used by over 1.1 million businesses to create 1.3 million apps. "iBuildApp removes the barrier to entry in the mobile app building world for businesses and web developers," said iBuildApp CEO Rafael Soultanov. "Using iBuildApp, businesses can create custom app features to upload to their app. With this approach we believe our platform is very different than any other similar service," said Soultanov. ![Pete Prestipino](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Pete%20Prestipino.jpeg) [Pete Prestipino](https://www.websitemagazine.com/web-development/author/pete-prestipino) Digital marketing executive with proven experience in all aspects of search engine optimization (SEO), performance-based advertising, consumer-generated/social media, email marketing, lead generation, Web design, usability, and analytics. - 20-year Internet marketing veteran, currently serving as the Digital Marketing Campaign Manager at Antenna Group (formerly Chicago Digital). - Former Editor-In-Chief of Website Magazine, and a regular speaker on Web technology digital marketing strategy - Author of several books on digital marketing Including Web 360: The Fundamentals of Web Success; Affiliate 360: The Fundamentals of Performance Marketing; Domains 360: The Fundamentals of Buying & Selling Domain Names, and SEO 360: The Fundamentals of Search Engine Optimization. - - - [mailto:peter@websitemagazine.com](mailto:peter@websitemagazine.com) #### Popular Post ### [How to Embed AI in your Enterprise App ![How to Embed AI in your Enterprise App](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/unsplash-41618c-2-1-1-1.gif)](https://www.websitemagazine.com/web-development/how-to-embed-ai-in-your-enterprise-app) ### [How to Use Plugins in WordPress ![How to Use Plugins in WordPress](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/WordPress-Logo-1.png)](https://www.websitemagazine.com/web-development/how-to-use-plugins-in-wordpress) ### [Top 10 Tips to Build a Google-Friendly Site ![Top 10 Tips to Build a Google-Friendly Site](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/pexels-photo-1015568-1-1.jpg)](https://www.websitemagazine.com/web-development/top-10-tips-to-build-a-google-friendly-site) #### Subscribe to Our Newsletter!
