Custom Apps

SharePoint 2013 provides a better tool for customizing mobile-side applications, as you can see here.

Windows Phone

Templates

Microsoft provides a Windows Phone SharePoint 2013 Application template for use in Visual Studio

? Windows Phone Empty SharePoint Application

? Windows Phone SharePoint List Application

So if you stay in Microsoft's field, you can take advantage of the predefined templates and built-in push notification support.

Templates generate a Silverlight-based Windows Phone application and use the MVVM (Model-view-viewmodel) design pattern, you benefit from a manageable layer of layers that can be independently developed, tested, and modified.

Development environment

Important NOTES:

Installing SharePoint 2013 Preview on a client operating system (such as Windows 7) is not supported, and it is not supported to develop the necessary tools for installing Windows Phone on a server-side operating system (such as Windows Server 2008). Source

So in order to develop a SharePoint Windows Phone app, you need two operating systems. This is not a problem, you can start building Office and SharePoint related applications

Windows Phone SDK 7.1

Ios,android and Rest

For other systems, SharePoint 2013 provides you with the appropriate APIs:

ECMAScript(Javascript,jscript) object Model schema

REST Endpoints in SharePoint 2013

Odata/oauth

You can interact with SharePoint sites by using JavaScript on the browser side as scripts, or remotely with any technology that supports standard rest functionality.

Client object Model (CSOM)

? The script executed in the browser. NET Framework to host code in apps, Silverlight 2.0 apps.

? use Proxy.js, managed. dll files, and CLIENT.SVC network services to batch, serialize requests, and resolve replies.

Rest Endpoint

? RESTful HTTP requests, using the Development Data Protocol (ODATA) standard.

The CLIENT.SVC Network Service handles HTTP requests and provides the appropriate response, Atom (the default response) or JSON format.

After translating 5 articles, I summarize

Microsoft's support for its own Windows Phone mobile device platform is powerful, as it has in previous routines, providing a variety of tools and examples for unpacking, as well as a rich interface for developers to call. But for the support of Android/ios, only a few words brought, and did not propose any real solution.
