There is a new feature in WebKit, App-Bound Domains; the WebKit team mentioned the use case ShopApp self-hosted content and I want to see if the App Store will accept an app that has only self-hosted content.
In my testing over the first iOS/iPad14 beta, I've found that WKWebView with App-Bound Domains enabled, supports the Service Workers API on the bound domains, and that feature can be used to "install" locally the resources from a web server, and finally render web app content from there in the WKWebView.
At the same time we have some rules in the AppStore in Section 4.7 being placed and a note from last year regarding HTML5 Apps in the App Store.
Let's say we have an app that complies with all AppStore rules if it's developed using for example Swift and SwiftUI. Is the same app valid in the AppStore if the content is rendered by the WKWebView served from the Service Worker in a bound domain?
