I have a HTML5/JavaScript app. I would like to submit it to the apple store.
Is there anyway I can somehow embed this in Safari/Webkit, and have apple accept it as an app?
This project started out as a web app, but I’ve found I like javascript/SVG far far more than Objective-C. And thus, I’d prefer to keep my development in JavaScript, but yet somehow be able to submit to the apple Mac store.
I’m aiming for the Mac store, not the iOS stores.
Thanks!
This is what phonegap is all about. Take a look at http://www.phonegap.com . It is an open source project for writing cross plattform mobile apps in html5 which can be run on many different plattforms.
There is a port out there called phonegap-mac which is for the apple desktop. (see: https://github.com/shazron/phonegap-mac)
I have used it several times to host html5 apps as an “app” on mac desktops.
I am not aware right now if there are any restrictions for the app store for desktop apps not allowing phonegap, but in general there should not be.
