Will Apple accept a simple webview only app? (website launch app).

Hi,


I've built my site in html5, CSS3 and Java, it is, to all intents and purposes, an 'App'.


I would like to make it availble to download as an app on an Apple device.


I've read around and get the impression that creating a webview app that launches the site without a browser window was a waste of time as Apple will reject it.


Is this still the case?


What changes would I have to make to get Apple to accept it?

What 'site'? Is the app just a repackaged version of a site that does the same things? If so, yes, Apple routinely rejects such submissions. See ASRGs 4.2 Minimum Functionality


The changes needed would likely negate your goal*, which seems counter to Apple's expectations, those being that apps should provide unique features while working to showcase the platform.

  • Hi bro,

    What if I only use webview for some of my features (for example use canvas to draw a path, square, add text...). Other features I still using native code? Is it acceptable?
