Are applications developed using 3rd party mobile application development tools acceptable to their respective markets?

I am trying to implement application that is supported to android,iphone,blackberry,windows mobile,symbian, webos (palm).

For that I am using the 3rd party applications here.

However, upon research I found that Android market doesn't accept the application that is developed on total cross tool.

Same for iphone to use application that is done on total cross mobile must be jail broken.

So, now I am in confusion that, is mobile applications those are developed using 3rd party Mobile application development tools are acceptable with their respected marckets.

For example, if I develop an application using phonegap tool on android, will android market accept that application?

The iOS and Android application stores have plenty of applications built using cross-platform frameworks. Apple originally suggested they would restrict these platforms, but they backed off from this position last year as shown here:

I have to disagree with Sheikh Aman, however. I believe there are several platforms that do that. According to the original poster's link, Bedrock does so.

It's a little misleading to say that PhoneGap is for mobile websites--it's true it uses JavaScript+CSS, but their apps are packaged so they can be sold through the app store.

My company's product, the Particle SDK, covers Android, BlackBerry, iPhone, webOS, and WinPhone7, and legacy support is available for Symbian, but so far we haven't had much call for it. Particle apps are written in Java or ActionScript, not JavaScript.

If the original poster actually needs Windows Mobile, as opposed to Windows Phone 7, Bedrock or PhoneGap might fit the bill.

I haven't tested those toolkits, but they both have applications in the app store. EA's iPhone Battleship game is apparently a Bedrock app.
