My iUI-based app was just rejected by the App Store. Here is the reason they gave:
We've reviewed your application, [name deleted]. The submitted iPhone application is a web clipping. The functionality of the submitted binary currently exists on the iPhone. A user can navigate to the webapp in Safari, select the "+" button, and select the option "Add To Home Screen". The binary that I submitted works by launching Safari with the app's URL and passes as arguments the phone's serial number and a hash code based on the SN. The app uses these arguments like username/password to log in to the account, or to create the account the first time the app is launched. I could have loaded the URL directly into the application the way PhoneGap does. Doing it that way is less versatile, since it requires the app to reload from the server, which will fail if the net is not reachable. Having the app in one of the eight Safari pages means that it can stay active even when the net is not available. I'll try again using PhoneGap. This is actually the second time Apple rejected it. The first time they merely said the application had "minimal functionality." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iPhoneWebDev" group.
