We know your concern with app rejection regarding Web-view. New updates are made in apple app submission policies and so we made this app that would comply with the same.
While we tested few apps on the apple store and went through every policy pertaining to the Web-view app we found that this app rejection is due to the following points mentioned below.
Website Content
Your website should not just be mobile responsive but have app-like features like FAB, Bottom Menu Bar, Tabbed Views while viewing a mobile site. Also, make sure your content should be valuable and does have extra functionalities compared to Apple default apps.
Web-view Functions
Most web-view apps are rejected because they provide just a viewing experience similar to browsing your website on Safari browser. However, if an app has extra functionalities apart from viewing your website, it never gets rejected. We have navigation drawers, bottom bar, app status bar, RTL layout, Dark-mode, etc which has to be configured apart from setting up the Web-view controls thereby providing extra functions and app-like functionalities.
Please consider these points before making a purchase and feel free to comment with any additional queries you have regarding our product.
However, that doesn’t mean that any app published with CBWebview (or any other WebView template for that matter) will always be accepted by Apple. If your app is only a simple frame of your site, chances are your app could be rejected.

Bad
- Desktop sites
- Sites that don’t look native, but like a html page
- Sites with a header bar, and then a header bar in the app
Good
- Sites that use a framework, like JQuery Mobile or Material Design to appear like a native app
- Sites that don’t have a footer, or other typical elements that only appear on websites
Therefore, the purchase of CBWebview will not guarantee the approval of your app to the App Store. Only the appropriate use of this template preferably using as much native UI elements as possible, like our tabs will ensure an App Store Approval.
Concrete Examples
Some examples of sites that look like apps and would be accepted by Apple using CBWebview:
Some examples of sites that look like (mobile sites) and not like apps, and would most likely not be accepted:
Note that for example amazon.com and ebay.com offer a similar experience and that both offer a mobile site, but the amazon mobile sites feel like a mobile app, it doesn’t have typical website elements (header, footer, link texts) but it has elements that appear in mobile apps (menu drawer, toolbar, buttons, elevation).
