SharePoint Hosted App Event Receiver

Question

Is it possible to create an event receiver on a list deployed in SharePoint hosted App?

Answer 1

No it is not possible to add an event receiver to a list in sharepoint hosted app. Event receivers can only be added to provider hosted and autohosted apps. Notice that as soon as you try to add remote event receiver to sharepoint hosted app it adds a remote web to the project and turns into cloud hosted app.
