I have a website that I would like to make into an app. I've currently got it working as a full screen, "add to home screen" web app, but it reloads the page whenever you switch apps, which is a problem. I've read a few guides that demonstrate how easy it would be to make an iOS app that is nothing more than a webView that only points to my website url.
In short, my question is whether it's worth it to get the Developer license and make my webView app (and potentially add push notifications in the future) or optimize my Web App and stick with that. If you get a Developer license and publish an app, do you have to renew your license every year to keep it in the store?
