I suppose the most well-known way of distributing a Web app in the App Store is via PhoneGap, which by default bundles all the HTML, CSS, and JS as part of the app that gets installed. With the offline caching capabilities available in HTML5, though, it seems like a reasonable alternative (which could still work with PhoneGap) would be to keep some or all of those files on the server as with a regular Web app, and cache them at first run. It will slow down that first launch, but provide an easier way to distribute updates (not to mention do A/B testing).
Does anyone have any experience with this approach? And, will Apple permit it in the Store? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iPhoneWebDev" group.
