iOS App with web contents got rejected even the similar one is in appstore

I have developed a native iOS application based on client's requirement to show the timelines of different social networks (FB, Twitter, Instagram, Google + etc.) in the same application using a webview.

Say for example, when I click Facebook button it will show the web contents of Facebook and so. The client gave me a reference app which is doing the same thing and published in the appstore.

That is https://itunes.apple.com/sa/app/mysocial-for-ios/id687623816?mt=8

(Is it not a native app ?)

But when I tried to publish the similar app into appstore,it got rejected. I got the same reason mentioned in the link http://www.sencha.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-215050.html?s=b15f82172b608c468a36774a93c7a7c9

Could you just tell me what is wrong and why the other app got published and what to do for publishing it to the appstore.

Firstly according to the Apple rules any Application who uses Webview or Webkit with just loading links & with not any other features will get rejected immediately.

I did checked reference application you shared it presented & controlled in a way that doesn't looks like an web view based Application. May be they have developed it on any cross platform.

And there is possibility if they are using the web components to load the links but they are using it smartly & they are making it controllable. So there are every chances you can make proper research & try to get the idea how you can utilise the web components smartly & try to make similar application.

Important Note :

  • The most prior thing is it should be user friendly & easy navigation for users.

Hope this helps to everyone.
