Is there any restrictions on IOS while publishing on AppStore? App 100% based on HTML page come from serve

Can we develop 100% complete web page application? On client side, there won't be any ui component.
It will consist only web view. All pages will be there on server.
Apple may reject your app if all it does is wrap a web site in a UIWebView. You need to have more functionality in your app than just loading a web page.
From the app review guidelines for iOS:
4.2 Minimum Functionality
Your app should include features, content, and UI that elevate it beyond a repackaged website. If your app is not particularly useful, unique, or “app-like,” it doesn’t belong on the App Store. If your app doesn’t provide some sort of lasting entertainment value, it may not be accepted.
You may want to investigate developing your company's app as a mobile web app. There's plenty of information published by Apple (and others) about how to write mobile web apps that function similarly to native iOS apps.

app store issue with sales and trends

Right now in application on itunesconnect I have a lot of data in Sales And Trends section (about downloads and payments).
But I need to transfer my application to another itunesconnect account (I need to change the company for the application. So in the details of the application I choose More->Transfer).
Will I have all that data in the other itunesconnect account after transferring the application or will I loose all that data about downloading and payments and so on?
No.
Because you won’t be able to view the app information after the
transfer, make a catalog report (see Requesting Catalog Reports), note
dates the app was available on the store (see Viewing Status History),
and save sales and download information (see Viewing Sales and
Trends).

Does anyone know if Apple iTunes will accept a single page app that is a browser loading a website

I have am loading a responsive website in a wrapper, my app is just a browser screen loading my live website. I have read that Apple iTunes does not allow apps that connect to external urls (I doubt that is true).
Does anyone know if Apple iTunes will approve this type of app?
Common App Rejections
Web clippings, content aggregators, or a collections of links
Your app should be engaging and useful, and make the most of the
features unique to iOS. Websites served in an iOS app, web content
that is not formatted for iOS, and limited web interactions do not
make a quality app.
From the official App Store Review Guidelines:
2.12 Apps that are not very useful, unique, are simply web sites bundled as Apps, or do not provide any lasting entertainment value may be rejected
As Jason mentioned from the Common App Rejections:
Web clippings, content aggregators, or a collections of links
Your app should be engaging and useful, and make the most of the features unique to iOS. Websites served in an iOS app, web content that is not formatted for iOS, and limited web interactions do not make a quality app.
I remember that an app of me was approved, even though it was just a website bundled as an app. The only difference was, that there was a special notification, if the user lost network connection or wasn't connected at all. I believe it could get approved if you add at least a little bit code to it.
If you can bundle your website and deliver it offline, your app should get approved. Have a look at Cordova, which exactly does this.
