anyone knows what are the abilities of HTML-CSS-JavaScript mobile applications (android apps) rather than animations ? what about web access and such things ?
Javascript is being very powerful language especially when we are taking about mobile applications and spa (single page applications). It can be used to load web views via ajax requests and more, it supports device APIs that allow a mobile app developer to access native device function such as the camera or accelerometer from JavaScript libraries , for example cordova . Cordova is the most known library that gives you that power.
In addition to that you can use libraries to make your application look like mobile native apps and enrich your application with functionalities (form validation , navigation, and more), examples : sencha or jquery mobile .....

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'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.

Basically, yes... How can I convert my responsive website easily into native iOS and Android application? It is written in HTML5, CSS3, PHP, JavaScript (jQuery) and uses mySQL database. I want it to become a native mobile application that I can sell via app/play store. How can I convert it?
No, the provided solution (duplicate question) does not help because I am using php and mysql. And I need it both for iOS and for Android.
Instead of converting your javascript codes into native codes(obj C, java). You can just create a iOS & Android native projects with a webview & load your HTML app into it.
By doing this, you have an advantage like: when you do any enhancements or bug fixes in html code - no need to submit updated builds to AppStore/play store (because you have hosted the HTML pages into web view)
Refer this for more details: http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/5.0.0/guide_hybrid_webviews_index.md.html
You can use Cordova and Phonegap for converting the same code into Mobile app for iOS and Android but this will be hybrid app not native and it will work fine, if your app is not so huge.Find the below link for simple steps of conversion.

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

I am new to apps development, just wanted to learn HTML5 apps development using only CSS & HTML5 and Javascript.
I am eagerly waiting to know, how do I start, I mean what I have to follow to start it test it and deploy it on multiple apps store so that people can search & download my apps.
If you want to build cross platform applications, then you can start using sencha touch. Sencha Touch is a Javascript framework which is used to build cross platform applications using only HTML5, CSS3 and JAVASCRIPT.
Download the sdk and sencha cmd from the sencha website.

Once your setup is ready you can go through the documentation which is excellent.

As GhostDerfel mentions, PhoneGap would be my choice. However if you want to create the app native to android add a WebView that covers the layout and load the url or html data into it.
