Appstore policy on Webview apps with additional functionalities?
I made an app that is basically a WebView wrapper of a mobile site with tweaks. On startup, it loads up a particular site that the user can navigate according to his will. I understand that Apple rejects apps with minimal functionalities and those which are just a copy of the website. However, I have added additional functions like uploading and downloading content, internet availability checkers, a custom error screen, progress bar, pull to refresh etc. Also, another incentive of using the app is that the user gets to have an uninterrupted continuous session whereas he is logged out after a specific time of inactivity in the mobile site. Are these features sufficient to get your WebView app approved on the App Store ( / do I need to add additional functionalities) or will the App Store flatline reject the app because it is based on a WebView Wrapper ? What is the App Store's policy on this ?
