Hi,
i’m about to create an app for the iOS ecosystem.
The app is a game, so it’s a real app, not a web site in disguise.
Is there any chance for the game to be accepted in app store if it is based on web technologies and using phonegap for the ipa ? (assuming the game is of good quality).
I’m not sure about the consensus about app using web tech being rejected or not from app store.
As an indie developer, it would help me use web tech to develop app and distribute it on multiple medium (web, app store, google play…).
Please advice based on your experience. Did you get a game or app approved on the app store, based on web tech ?
@benj. Thanks very much for your question! If I understand you correctly, what you’re asking is, will Apple accept an app in their app store using hybrid technologies, including html5/css3/javascript? Short answer would be yes, so long as you meet all of their requirements. There are many apps in the app store built using hybrid technologies like Ionic, Phonegap/Cordova, Xamarin (not that I’m endorsing any of them), so I would say that yes, your app will not be rejected because they were built using the technologies you stated above.
The only thing I will say is, if you’re using multiple technologies to build your game/app, have you considered building it using native tools? More than likely, it would be much easier with this approach, with a lot more help, support, and resources out there to accomplish your goals.
