You could, but Apple are rejecting apps that are just web views or RSS readers so I wouldn't recommend it.

- jcromartie 16y agoThere are plenty of apps that utilize web views inside of native iPhone UIs, like tab bar controllers and other widgets. They are "hybrid" apps and make the best of both and they get by the review process just fine. A lot of them are fairly big names, like Reddit.
- chc 16y agoA full app that runs inside a WebView is very different from an app that is just a WebView.
- flyosity 16y agoThe point is that if you build your application correctly no one will even notice it's not a Cocoa app. Take the iTunes App Store for instance. Nearly the entire application is a Webview, the AppKit equivalent of stuffing a Safari window into your application. It's all HTML (or an HTML-like markup language) and CSS. It's a little clunky sometimes but you can't say it doesn't "feel" like a real application just because it uses web technologies.
