I want to use the tabris framework to develop cross platform mobile applications. What would be a good resource to get started?
You can use the tutorial at http://developer.eclipsesource.com/tabris/docs/create-a-hello-tabris/
It contains advice on how to setup a Tabris server, start a server-side helloworld example and access this example with the mobile clients on iOS and Android.
See an example at github - repository Tabris Demos.

I am willing to write a very simple mobile phone app (Android and iPhone). It is so generic that it should already exists. Only 2 pages : one for choosing the URL of the server and one with only webview. It already works in a browser. I looked at tools for this purpose (Android studio and Ionics) but they are quite difficult to start with. Any hint to get this done quickly ?
Thanks in advance.
You can do it with a simple ionic app and the in-app-browser plugin:

Our team is starting a project and we would like to have an automated testing server that tests our app on real devices, instead of emulators or just browser.
Its an Ionic framework app, so Cordova+AngularJS.
I am going to research this and give the best answer I have, but in the meantime if anyone is familiar with it, I'd love to hear all about it!
I'm interested on that point too.
For instance, I manage to code very few tests with APPIUM but seems to do the job for tests using Selenium webserver
Looking forward for other user feedback
The intel xkd provides on device testing via the intel xkd preview app and on device debugging via the adb with debugger. Also comes with build services for android, ios, windows, tizen, amazon, nook, webapp, chrome, facebook, and firefox. This is the easiest way I have found for testing on device to make sure Cordova plug ins work and to get live JavaScript debugging. https://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-xdk
Another option is to run the ionic app in phantomjs and run integration tests using your server-side framework. This allows you to quite easily test across the entire stack. Theres a blog post about how to do it with rails at http://www.dovetaildigital.io/blog/2015/10/28/rails-and-ionic-make-love-part-three
The title pretty much says it all. I was asked this question today and really didn't know the answer.
Ionic is not intended to build desktop, or even desktop browser based applications.
From the official docs :
Ionic is focused on building native/hybrid mobile apps rather than
mobile websites.
As such, our browser support tends to be whatever Web View API is
available to native apps on a given platform. For Ionic 1.0.0
"uranium-unicorn", that means UIWebView for iOS 7+, and Android 4.1
and up. Windows Phone and FirefoxOS support is on our roadmap.
Even if you implement a browser website using ionic, the rendered output would rather weird.
Infact, Ionic has itself implemented it's website using bootstrap ;)
is it ok to compile a AngularJS+ Ionic app using Phonegap Build or Steroids ?
Or should I use another platform ?
I would like your feedback!
Thanks
To answer your question, yes you can use PhoneGap Build to build your application. We are using it to build our AngularJS + Onsen UI app, but it should also suitable for Ionic. The question isn't really about which front-end techniques you use, whether it is about your other needs such as platform support (PhoneGap Build supports "only" iOS, Android and Windows Phone 8) and plugins needed (again, PhoneGap Build doesn't automatically support every plugin there exists, but ~400 they support should be enough in most of the cases). If there limitations are okay for you, go ahead and try it. It is easy to setup and has quick builds almost out-of-box for your Cordova application.
About Steroids, I can't say anything as haven't used it.
yes you can use PhoneGap Build to build your application on android and window phone but ios you need key Provisioning profile good luck
I'm a Web Designer and Web Developer, I want to switch to cross platform mobile framework, so I want use Cordova or Phonegap .
But my question is which one is better or overall what's the difference between these frameworks? Phonegap is an Adobe product and Cordova is an Apache product.
I do not know which one should I choose and learn?
PhoneGap is powered by the code of Cordova. I encourage you to search on Google for a precise answer. Here are a couple links about that subject. http://phonegap.com/2012/03/19/phonegap-cordova-and-what%E2%80%99s-in-a-name/

To answer your question; they do the same thing but PhoneGap have more functionalities.
Recently phoneGap released an amazing dev tool : http://app.phonegap.com/
