Is Phonegap/Ionic/Xamarin application will get rejected in iTunes from January 2018 onwards

I just heard in news and even Techcrunch, blogging website confirmed that iTunes Connects will no longer going to approve Hybrid Application for iPhone/iPad. Is this news real and correct ?

The ASRGS have recently been updated to say this:


4.2.6 Apps created from a commercialized template or app generation service will be rejected unless they are submitted directly by the provider of the app’s content. These services should not submit apps on behalf of their clients and should offer tools that let their clients create customized, innovative apps that provide unique customer experiences. Another acceptable option for template providers is to create a single binary to host all client content in an aggregated or “picker” model, for example as a restaurant finder app with separate customized entries or pages for each client restaurant, or as an event app with separate entries for each client event.


And for reference:

4.3 Spam

  • Don’t create multiple Bundle IDs of the same app. If your app has different versions for specific locations, sports teams, universities, etc., consider submitting a single app and provide the variations using in-app purchase. Also avoid piling on to a category that is already saturated; the App Store has enough ****, burp, flashlight, and Kama Sutra apps already. Spamming the store may lead to your removal from the Developer Program.
