Forgive my lack of understanding but how it is any different that a PhoneGap
based app could use a UIWebView to download dynamic content that any of the
huge number of existing apps in the AppStore that clearly do the same thing?
This is not an attempt to understand Apple's policy, its really a technical
question. What additional vulnerabilities or unwanted surprises would/could
a PhoneGap based app expose a user to that any Objective-C based app that
used UIWebView didn't?
I use the ABC (Australia) app regularly which clearly downloads dynamic
content in to a custom UI (not mobile Safari), and I assume that this
content could include Javascript. Is it the fact that PhoneGap exposes
native API to JS that creates the problem?
I feel it would be better to take the "you should have known/that's the way
it is" element out of this discussion and move it to a rational technical
conversation about what PhoneGap can & can't do & stay within a reasonably
unambiguous interpretation of the AppStore listing rules.
Constructive & detailed technical input seems a far more valid contribution
to the debate at this stage.
