Responsive website in a web-view. Will we get rejected?

Hi!


I am working on a team, and we have a responsive web-program. We would like to put it on the App Store, and to save on time it would be much easier if we could embed the already-existing web-program in a web-view and publish it.


We were wondering if anyone has experience with this, and whether or not it will be rejected? Do they expect developers to re-implement their programs in native code?


Thanks!

Yes, what you've briefly described, responsive or reticent, is a recipe for rejection...basically, if (I hate ifs) that's all you have, then you have no app when taking that route - see the ASRG's 4.2 Minimum Functionality.

I have to disagree with my esteemed colleague. IF your app is nothing more that a repackaged website then yes, Minimum Functionality is an issue. But if the app does stuff from within that webView or surrounding that webView that can't be done on a simple website - like location sensing or direction related matters or a need for immediacy - then I think it will pass muster.
