iphone - Problem with distributing web applications on the Apple Store -


I have a lot of problem in knowing how to deliver a web-based application:

I have Is a web based application that I would like to distribute on the Apple Store (this application is free - I would like to use the apple store because everyone uses it and this is a natural distribution for the iPhone channel) Use of Apple Store To i

1 / First Cover Application Window Launched

2 / Then in the application representative I open the link

  NSString * stringURL = @ "http://www.mypage.com/"; NSURL * url = [NSURL URLWithString: stringURL]; [[UIApplication shared application] Open URL: URL];  

3 / application is going back

4 / Safari has been launched

5 / Safari launch is not too good, because An already opened page is shown in safari and then slides it to a blank new window, where my web application is started. Launch is the first problem - the second problem is that the application is not full screen and I did not find a way to force the Safari to make the full screen.

Sure - I can go straight to users directly on my application web page, then bookmark it on the springboard, so they have the icon here. Then they will have a good launch + full screen safari, but I will lose the possibility of promoting and delivering applications on the Apple Store.

The last possibility is to use UIWebView, but it does not support the HTML5 cache manifest and local store, so it can not be used.

Does anyone have advice on how to handle it or do I forget the apple store?

UIWebView is a very vanilla version of Safari. To stay close to Safari, you have to do a lot of work, for example, to handle authentication (there is a lot of problem with UIwebView), browser history if the frame is used, and caching is being used by you. Depending on the type, you will be taking a little longer time.

The IMHO, creating a web app and creating user home screen bookmarks is currently the best way to address your problem.
