I'm using Trigger.io to make an app I can deploy to both the app store and google play.
I'm researching baas backends that offer native sdk's for android and apple, but also offer javascript sdk's which I assume are meant for things like Trigger or Phonegap.
My question is do the app store guidelines favor one kind of back end service over another? Is javascript risky for backend? I just want to be sure before I pay for a service. The services I'm considering are cloudmine and shephertz.
They shouldn't know anything about your back-end web service.
Sounds like you are talking about making a hybird app though, which is also fine (and is technically a client). There are a ton of hybrid frameworks out there: Ionic, Cordova, Cocoon, PhoneGap, apparently Trigger.io, etc. They wouldn't be useful if app stores rejected them.

I am pretty new to web dev, and I wanted to create a simple UI in Javascript with the Google Maps Places API to familiarize myself with everything. My question is, would I just make direct URL requests with the user’s variables, or would I have to create something server side, and if so, what would I have to do?
It depends on your application's functionality. Generally, you could keep all everything on the client-side. If you app is a server-rendered one, meaning you would be using a JavaScript framework like React or Vue, you could use just the website state to keep track of users' variables and send out requests to the Google APIs to do the heavy work.
You could also look into tools like Firebase, also created by the folks at Google to handle storage or user authentication. There are rich docs on how to include Firebase in your web application for your framework of choice. This way you can create language-agnostic backend resources that conform to all of the security measures and scales automatically so you can focus on the users' experience.
In case you would like to offer some less-common functionality or have complete control over the backend you could write up an API of your own and have it deployed on a separate backend server.

I am pretty new to web application development and testing,currently working on a project which requires me to set up a stand alone environment for testing the Web application. The idea is web application should be testable and the server should be in simulated mode.
As, i was researching came to know that one of the ways it can be done is by node.js which can help in server application for the web app and data can be sent to Web application by JSON.
Please let me know if there is a better way to test standalone web application. All possible ideas are welcome.Please suggest.
It should pretty same as how you setup your production server but test server should have its own database instance and should collide with production data.I didn't get the point about using nodejs. ?? Your tech stack should be same as the production tech stack. Then only it will be called simulated environment.

Now I program all my web apps with Flask or Django. (blogs, social networks...). I need templates, db access, controllers, routing...
Now I want to do same web applications, but with javascript.
People tell me : You need NodeJs for server-side, Angular for the front, and for example firebase or mongodb. Or also you can use Express JS.
But can I just use Angular JS and Firebase for start a big web app ? Need I Node if Angular can Access/Update/Delete in my db ?
Angular is a client-side framework, so you'll have to at least have some web server to serve your static files. Other than that, if you're using Firebase, you wouldn't technically need any server-side code to handle your logic - but naturally, that depends strongly on what data your application deals with.
If what Firebase provides, doesn't cut it for your cases though, you will need a server-side, and pretty much any web application framework would do. Node.js (using Express), PHP, ASP.NET, whatever your heart desires.
And yes, Angular works perfectly well for creating big complex web applications.

The tutorials I've come across are not clear enough to me for some reason.
Firebase offers an iOS sdk, Android sdk and a Javascript web Sdk. Am I supposed to use the javascript sdk? I'm using ionic because I want to build a hybrid app for both android and iOS, so the sdk's for a native OS are not useful to me.
I just want to make sure I'm picking the right thing with the javascript web sdk
AngularFire is an open source library maintained by the Firebase team which provides a binding for Firebase in AngularJS projects. Since Ionic is based on AngularJS, so it suite anyway.

I built an AngularJS application using few plugins such as angular ui-router, angular-translate... and bootstrap 3.
It works for web browser of desktop/laptop. Smartphone with built-in web browser works fine too but I think it's not good enough (battery issue...). So now I need to build native app for mobile OS such as iOS or Android.
So which is best way (may use framework or something like that) to build native app with lowest cost (because AngularJS app is already)? If I have to write native app for each mobile OS from scratch, it may consume much time. Please give me some suggestion.
Not sure if you've ever looked at the Ionic Framework, but that sounds up your street. http://ionicframework.com/.
You can use web technologies to create mobile application Phonegap
So you can turn your AngularJS application into mobile app
