Your app is not very different from a web page.

Your server could simply send email message to anyone who subscribes to your site whenever new content/messages are available.


Also one of my friend try to share an app but it's rejected because of web view javascript functionality.

Your friend should start his own thread about this.

Hi Micheal, thanks for the quick response,

"Also one of my friend try to share an app but it's rejected because of web view javascript functionality."

I wanna learn that my web page includes lots of javascript jquery websocket etc, in this situation it seems they will reject, it is not another question, sorry about less info.


Here is the case that my customer asks for mobile app that has push notificaiton ability, in android there is no problem, but I'M new at ios and I heart that the process of accepting app is hard, before try to develop this app I want to know that the chance of accepting or rejecting, you know time is money.


I offered other solution like email or safari clip for shortcuts of webpage, unfortunately my customer insist on push notification and want to make end user sees the notification in notification window :S


what you think about it ? reject or accept ?

🙂 Dude I'm web developer, no problem with getting notification etc, I'm expert about javascript etc,

the problem is that getting notification without being in webpage, like whatsapp , dıdınt dıdınt , there is tone that let you know that something changes. Do you mean that you are getting push notification in ios ?

As I told you before, I'm new and searching, I dont have enought time to search all the way and I want to know about ios developer experience,
as I searched quickly, I can make push notification with native app or phone gap etc ,

the main problem is the webview side, if I lucubrate on the native app that getting push notification with web view, after publishing my app if it reject than I will have big problems with my customer, for solving the problem and posibilities at the begining before doing work, if not the result cant deserve my working.
I need knowledge about this problem.

my situation like that,


another message from Apple that

"Aug 8, 2012 08:34 AM. From Apple. 10.6 We found the user interface of your app is not of sufficient quality to be appropriate for the App Store. Apps that provide a poor user experience are not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines. Specifically, we noticed your app would benefit from additional native iOS functionality to give the user a more engaging experience. Please evaluate whether you can make the necessary revisions to improve the user experience of your app. If you cannot - or choose not to - revise your app to be in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines, you may wish to build an HTML5 web app instead. You can distribute web apps directly on your web site; the App Store does not accept or distribute web apps. HTML5 is the major new version of HTML and enables audio and video to play natively in the browser without requiring proprietary plug-ins. Using HTML5, web apps can look and behave like native iPhone and iPad apps, and using HTML5's Offline Application Cache, a web app can work even when the device is offline. With web apps, you have flexibility to deliver as much or as little functionality as you desire. To get started with iPhone or iPad web apps, please review Getting Started with iPhone Web Apps.
