To be fair, if your app submission is a glorified Web App (leveraging no native iOS features) Apple will reject for that reason alone [0].
"4.2 Minimum Functionality - Your app should include features, content, and UI that elevate it beyond a repackaged website."

- thomasfedb 7y agoAre "website" and "web app" synonymous?
- grandsui 7y agoTo me a website can be a static webpage, but a web app's more dynamic
- thomasfedb 7y agoAgreed, I would argue that web app implies function above a website.
- kovek 7y agoWhy is this comment being downvoted? It does contribute to the discussion.

- Razengan 7y agoHN has long since been devolving into Reddit in all but name. You will generally get insta-downvoted if you say something that goes against the current bandwagon or that someone doesn't like to hear/talk about.
- amaccuish 7y agoBecause it's completely irrelevant. The point is that having a webapp allows them to continue to serve users if their actual app is removed from app stores. It has no bearing on how their native app functions, whether it is in native code or a web wrapper etc.
- superkuh 7y agoThis only applies because Apple runs a walled garden that is anti-user. People running actual computers with non-user-hostile operating systems can install whatever software they like. This is entirely apple's fault. Websites are not applications. The browser is not an OS.
- RealStickman 7y agoThey didn't remove it for that reason though.
- rolltiide 7y agonot relevant here just tell mobile users to bookmark the page, on iOS that can make an icon on your home screen
