iOS Can I publish an html5 based app on the App Store?

[djrod]

Hi, i'm willing to learn Objective C, but I lack C knowledge so it's going to be a looong time until I can create something, It would be great if in the meantime I could mix both Objective C and HTML5.

My idea is to create something like this:

Does Apple allow apps like this?

It is entirely possible to wrap a website using a UIWebView. Having said that if the application is not providing any additional benefit over the web page itself then Apple will tend to reject the application.

You can create a web app. This might be a solution for you to get a presence on the iPhone until you've improved your Objective C in order to produce a native app.

With a web app, your code doesn't run locally on the iPhone/iPod/iPad - it sits on a server on the Internet and is accessed through the web browser on the device.

Web apps and do a pretty good job of emulating a native app. The only (major) downside is that if your user doesn't have access to the Internet, they don't have access to your web app...

Hope this helps,
