We have developed Cordova Hybrid App using Ionic framework and will deliver this app through Apple and google's store.
I have read Apple Policy document that insist "We Should not dynamically update App without through Apple store".
I would like to load two JS files from my server. It will never change App purpose and look and feel.
I am bit more confused about Apple policy document . Any assistance in this topics are much more appreciated.
Thanks

Just give it a try. The worst thing that could happen is that you wait for a week, get rejected and have to adapt your app and resubmit it...
I never had a problem with external JS files from CDNs, but that doesn't have to mean anything for your case.
That said, why not simply include the files in your app? Why should Apple trust you not changing the app?

My iOS app is based on WebView.
I want to register this app to app store.
After submit, I can see this message from support team.
Hello,Thank you for your patience.
Regarding 4.2.0, your app provides a limited user experience as it is not sufficiently different from a mobile website. Specifically, your app does not contain any native iOS features within the app.
To resolve this issue, it would be appropriate to revise your app to provide a more robust user experience by including additional native iOS functionality..
We look forward to reviewing your resubmitted app."
How can I upload my app to app store?
My app is just to show only website on iOS webview. Just a simple app.
Please help me with this problem.
You can't.
I know this isn't the answer you were hoping for, but unless you change your app to significantly use some native iOS features, Apple will continue to decline your app. This is to ensure a minimum level of quality in the apps available. Due to this regulation, WebView-centric apps will not be accepted on the store. Please have a read on the guidelines to help you understand
If you really want to get it up on the store, you will have to add features. Otherwise, there are alternative distribution solutions that don't require publishing to the App store, but more often than not they are for businesses & in-house deployment.
As the title suggest I need to be able to showcase a react native app continuously during development every other day with a client which is not technical orientated. The alternativs I see is,
* Sharing a git/github repo for them to download and run through Xcode
which is not a possibility.
*Screen record while i run the simulation on my computer and share it
with the client
Both of these options seems subpar and not optimal.
How do I do this in a better way?
I am sorry if this seems like an open ended question and if you have suggestions on how to better formulate this question please provide it.
You can upload the binary to TestFlight, which allows your client to download and use the app instantly.
You can also consider over-the-air update systems like Expo or CodePush which allows you to deliver Javascript-only updates automatically to your clients when they open the app (just like a web app).
Someone assigned me a project in iOS to develop a torrent client app but the problem is that according to my knowledge there are no torrent clients available right now.
So the question is that is it possible to build such an app? I am not asking about publishing my app on app store I just want to build it (it's a university project)
It is possible, see popcorn time or open source implementations on github
But, as you probably know, Apple is likely not to publish such apps in the App Store due to questionable legal aspect.
Ive just finished up my first Cordova/PhoneGap app but it was rejected on submission to the App Store on grounds that it was too much like a website. But PhoneGap apps are very much like websites in that they are all coded in HTML and CSS, so how do you get round this issue? Has anyone had this rejection notice before and overcome it?
(I am using a couple of iframes in the app - could this be a contributor to the issue? Should I replace the information they display with data retrieved via JSON?)
"Too much like a website" likely doesn't refer to the technology used, but the content enclosed. If your app is essentially what you'd get if you went to a mobile version of your website, Apple would prefer you just build a mobile version.
I have never developed for iPhone, but I have developed an HTML5 web application.
I would like to submit to the Apple store a free app whose job would be to just open up the HTML5 webapp in the mobile browser.
Do you think it will be likely that such an app can be accepted? Can you please provide links or evidence?
Is it possible to ask this question to the Apple team so that I am not going to waste $99? If so, how?
If your app has native web views pulling internal HTML5 information, you might be able to sneak it by some of the app reviewers, but a good portion will say that there is not enough native Apple code in the app. They are sticklers for that.
I have, on a few occasions, gotten away with adding push notification, saying it HAS to be an app, and can't rely on users going to the website since they need push (even though I never intended on pushing anything out), but Apple has caught on to this.
Ultimately, you need to use Apple code in xCode, and you need to use a lot of it.
