How did he do iOS development on a Chromebook?

Looking at the screenshot it's 100% definitely a jQuery Mobile app, wrapped into native. Which is fine.

Since it's available simultaneously on Android, I'm assuming it's using one of those write-once build-anywhere mobile frameworks.

Judging by that UI screenshot it's jQuery mobile so he probably used phonegap to wrap it in a native app for both iOS and Android.

How would he use PhoneGap on a Chromebook? You still need to have X Code to sign an iOS application.

I assume his mentor was the one who packaged them up for Android and iOS (especially since it's listed under his name on the iOS App Store).

You can package the Phonegap App with Phonegap Build, a service running in the cloud for exactly this plattform-problem.

He might have used one of those cloud services that compiles your code on a Mac mini, but I don't know about him specifically.

idk, was it an html5 mobile app?
