Windows 8 Snap View

In the Windows 8 Store App certification requirements it states that your app must support a snapped view. My question is that Can we provide the static splash screen page as our snap view throughout the application? Windows accept application with a single page as a snap view?

Snapped View has its purpose ofcourse but in many situations it is hard to deal with it so you could represent data in the best way possible.

They will accept, however, a static screen as the Snapped View. They had with an app of mine and it passed their certification.

Furthermore, if you think about it, even the "Store" app has a static image as a snapped page.

As things stand today, Snapped view is mandatory. Its however at times difficult to implement snapped view. In such situations, the developer can chose to hide everything except something that informs the user to not use snapped view.

I tend to use a simple button that states the same and onclick the app try TryUnsnap to expand out.

Beyond this: 8.1 makes snap support optional
