there many wide-ranging questions in post comprehensive answer. when seeking advice in online forum, it's idea restrict posts single issue. way you're more replies.

 

a couple of quick answers of questions.

 

fluid grid layouts use css media queries deliver same html devices, different styles. in other words, create 1 version. styles control how looks on phone, tablet, or desktop.

 

phonegap build: don't need compile application on xcode. upload html, css, , javascript phonegap build service handles you. however, compile app ios, need apple signing certificate, can created on mac. once signing certificate has been uploaded, can create app on either windows or mac.
