After reading monkeytalk faq from http://www.gorillalogic.com/testing-tools/monkeytalk/documentation/monkeytalk-faq :
How does it all work?
MonkeyTalk is a complete functional testing platform for mobile applications. Currently, it supports testing native iOS and Android apps.
Can I test HTML5 web apps?
No. Our initial release of MonkeyTalk comes with an iOS Agent and an Android Agent. That being said, we understand the importance of HTML5 apps, particularly in the mobile space. So don’t be surprised if you see an HTML5 Agent some time in the future.
Can I test desktop apps? Windows Phone 7? BlackBerry? Flex Mobile?
No. Our initial release of MonkeyTalk comes with a native iOS Agent and a native Android Agent. That being said, we hope to add more agents in the future.
... I am not really sure I can use monkeytalk to test phonegap applications. Does anyone have any experience?
I talked to the Gorilla Logic guys at the last AnDevCon and they had just cracked the ability to test a WebView inside of a native app. Sadly they could not record a test script but they can play back a manually created script. You may want to talk to Gorilla Logic directly.

I am new to iOS platform(SWIFT - iOS9- Xcode7.3), I developed one Social Networking app in Swift and want to see crash reports of the app in the mobile as well as in Xcode. I did the process of Certifications,App ID, Provisioning Certificates and all...(whether all these are necessary for testing the app) I started with test-flight but I am not finding their SDK. So how to go with the step by step process of testing the iOS app before I go with the production.
Let me know if there are any other tools other than test flight. or What is the right way to do the process of testing and then production to the Apple Store. I dint find any proper answers please help.
Test flight is integrated with apple iTuneConnect app store build,As of now you can not get the crash report for beta build. App store build will not share the crash report to developer until it was not shared by user device (by enabling Share with app developer setting).There are many crash reporting tools
I will recommend to use fabric
I have responsive website and wanted to create app for windows phone. So is there any way to make the same? online or by using any other technology (like phone gap or something else). It means my website URL load on click of app icon.
There are different ways to do that. Basically you have three ways (but there are more!) to consider:
Native universal HTML5/JS app: Create a native app using HTML5 and Javascript directly. There is a nice jumpstart available in the Microsoft Virtual Academy (MVA): http://www.microsoftvirtualacademy.com/training-courses/developing-universal-windows-apps-with-html-and-javascript-jump-start
WebView in a C# app: You can also add a WebView to a C# app and run your code inside a browser. This is done quite often - especially if developers want to port a web app very quickly to Windows Phone since all you have to do is to adjust your paths and you're good to go. There's a video on Channel9 by Bob Tabor: http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/Windows-Phone-8-1-Development-for-Absolute-Beginners/Part-13-Working-with-the-Web-View-App-Template (This video is part of another MVA course: WP 8.1 app development for absolute beginners)
3rd party frameworks: You can use third party libraries like PhoneGap / Cordova to run your code. This is very much like 2. as your code is also executed in a browser. The advantage is that you can easily deploy your code on other platforms but you might run into performance issues under certain circumstances.
So if you want to load your page if you click on your app icon (2) might be your best shot.
For Windows 10 Universal Apps you can do that very easily using the Microsoft project Westminster:
https://dev.windows.com/en-us/uwp-bridges/web-apps
Step by step guide is here:
http://microsoftedge.github.io/WebAppsDocs/en-US/win10/CreateHWA.htm
It takes about five minutes to make the app, and then maybe a few hours to polish it, make the right icons from the Windows store etc.
Can we use PhoneGap for Windows Store Apps that will be developed using C# and Xaml? If so, can it handle all device and resolution dependencies?
I'm not quite sure what you're asking here. If the question is "Can we use phonegap to develop an app for windows 8" the answer is yes : http://docs.phonegap.com/en/edge/guide_platforms_win8_index.md.html#Windows%208%20Platform%20Guide
If you're question is "can I write code for a phonegap application using C#" the answer is no. The whole point of phonegap is that it allows you to write applications for various different platforms in HTML and Javascript.
(e.g. the Chrome browser for Android)
Talking about factory defaults here, not what users can install later.
(Sorry if this is a stupid question, I just can't find an answer anywhere)
Typically consumer facing Android devices do come with the browser. It is part of the core platform.
However, there is nothing stopping a manufacturer from removing the Browser for whatever reason. For example, that Android powered watch will not come with a web browser.
Yes, as it's part of Android OS.
I did a small web application for using PHP, HTML, and JavaScript.
I want to test my application in BlackBerry and iPhone, but I don't have either of them.
Is there any site providing facilities, something like a live BlackBerry tester site?
For Blackberry, you can download a simulator from RIM. You want to download the smartphone simulator and also the MDS simulator, which enables the smartphone simulator to connect to websites.
You could try downloading the Firefox add-on, User Agent Switcher, and have it act like a Blackberry. Granted though, it's not a true test. But if you are looking to see how your app reacts to this, it is a good first test.
You also have access to an iPhone simulator as a registered Apple developer. But this is for the Mac OS X platform, not Windows.
