Hi!

My company has a client that want's a app, but he has limited resources and spent most of it on the website. He also wants a app compatible with iOS, but since he has a limited budget to pay for the service, he asked to make it only as a WebView.

I saw that UIWebView isn't allowed by Apple and that's what React Native uses.

So I started using a component plugin that uses WKWebView component for React Native. That's the one: https://github.com/CRAlpha/react-native-wkwebview

The entire app will consist only this componnt. Perhaps a Modal for SplashScreen while loading, but yeah, most of it WKWebView.

Will it be approved? Can anyone answer me this? The app is already done, but we need this confirmation.

Thanks!

NOBODY here can confirm whether an app will be approved. You'll have to submit it and take your chances.

What Chuck said...

As well, note that not everything needs an app - simply re-packaging a website is one of the quickest ways to get the hook from review. See the ASRG's Section 4 Design / Minimum Functionality

Also:

- a splashscreen would be redundant because launchscreen.storyboard

- your client would be better advised to have their own account...you can expect pushback during review should it appear you are in effect re-selling yours

- about RN ...see the ASRGs Section 4/4.2.6
