new updated guidelines for apple store can we develop rest web service based apps?

This is nothing new. Apple has always required that apps be more than just web apps. If you can do your app using a web site, then you should do that. The problem is that Apple hasn't been very good at enforcing its own policies. This seems like Apple is going to start retroactively applying this policy and refusing to allow updates to web apps. This is another problem because app developers often complain that "12 other apps are doing the same thing, why did my app get rejected?" This is evidence that Apple is listening to those concerns and trying to make the app store a level playing field for all developers.

It is Apple's store, so clearly they have a "right" to do anything they want. If any developers don't want to participate, they certainly don't have to. Ironically enough, the best way for a developer to take that stance would be to develop a web app. That makes sense because this policy only applies to apps that could be easily transitioned to a web app. Then, the developer is free from Apple's guidelines and has access to a much larger market.

Thanks for reply! I'm a first time new developer and going to complete my software and this will affect my survival majorly. I planed to do the applicaiton in web site also, later on. But for now it is an ios applicaiton and the core funcitonality are in rest web service. I find native applicaiton is more faster and user support is better. Web there are so many technologies and difficult to get proper support. What about Apples own thing like iCloud, etc., that uses server side? I hope iCloud is kind of rest web service. Are all applications work without interacting with server side?

Native application can access device features but an web applicaiton is more restricted and creates real time issues

Thanks for reply! Mine is a native application that uses rest web service to do its core functions. I believe native application is the future. We will have one or few OS vendors! Nobody thinks about real time response, reliability, quality and performance ! Only a native application can do that! Web application don't have answer when network goes down! google chrome applications already going to die!
Why we have web application? since there is a war between multiple OS vendors! so we need to have a single interface to satisfy all peoples! Web satisfies currently! this caused a war between multiple web technologyies. The support provided for these web technologies goes out of control, since every few years new one comes up ! It's difficult to find developers! Web applications will exist until native application dominates! Web service will not go that's for sure! IoT can use it and can provide any service! But it's happening!

we have to note that there are two major os vendors like Apples OS's and Google OS's. one For wealthy and other for medium to poor. Those OS vendors already captured most users in world. anybody don't own touch screen phones?
Trend is changing Apple leads it! I'm already started moving codes to mobile!
