Hi guys.
Thanks for taking the time to read my question.
We have built a web application on a mobile first framework (bootstrap) The site is designed for mobile and we want to make a quick app so people can access the app from the homescreen of their Apple device.
Now we've created a simple wrapper to hold the web app and removed the safari window so the site works full screen but thats it really.
I understand that Apple normally say no to web apps. My question is this:
Is this 'no' to web apps normally a blanket no or are there ways to get them approved without having to go and create a fully featured version of our site in app form?
We would really like to have our web app on the Apple store.
Thanks again guys.
Why not create the app with some intro scenes and a scene that holds a UIWebView. Point that UIWebView scene to your website (automatically) and you've achieved a native app. You could take it a step further (BETTER) and put the resources local and then fill that UIWebView with local data so that you minimize the web traffic being used by the user. Note that if you expect extensive web traffic as part of your app (say to a backend database) then you would want to notify the user that the app requires an internet connection. Otherwise, just port all of the files locally and load the pages using relative references and you will have acheived the best solution for migrating to iOS.
