Publish app WebView only to display App-Like tailored eCommerce website

Hi! There's a chance I get a new project where I need to put VirtueMart (no. 1 eCommerce addon for joomla! CMS) into an app, but the challenge is that VirtueMart has 0 API support, so in that case, I will create a joomla! template just to display VirtueMart tailored for mobile "app-like" and display that in the WebView of my app. Will add some push notifications support in the near future but no more than that. The app will have splash screen, push notifications (in the future) and the rest of the app will go into a WebView to display the website tailored for mobile "app-like".


Just to be clear, the website will have two completely different designs, one for the desktop or mobile browsers and other exclusively for the app, which will be tailored for mobile "app-like".


Having read section 4.2 Minimum Functionality of Apple reviews guidelines document here https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#beta-testing I'm not completely shure if this will pass App review.


Anyone got some experience into this?


Thanks!

It's sad, really, that questions like this still come up.


Nothing has changed since the last 30,000 rejections of do-nothing apps that are just browsers/repackaged websites.


You're wasting your time just thinking about it.
