Hello John, There are really 3 reasons for wanting wanting to build it in GWT but release it via the app store. 1) marketing - David (below) is correct. There is a huge marketing advantage to going through the app store. 2) GPS - our functionality is location based and we want to access the GPS information available only when the app is open 3) GWT - our code base is already GWT, therefore it would be easier to use what we know
It seems that it is possible (I think). Google has released an example app built in GWT (http://googlewebtoolkit.blogspot.com/2007/09/ gwt-application-development-for-iphone.html ) , albeit, I am not sure if it would need an Obj-C wrapper to work. It would be interesting to hear someone's thoughts on what would be needed to make the Google Reader App work natively on the iphone. Hope this helps clarify. Please let me know if you know of any iPhone Apps using GWT.
