I was contacted to develop an app for a company and I’d like some help to know if it has a chance of being approved on the App Store. The system will be entirely built in React Native and will use a SupaBase backend.
One detail: before starting, I talked to another developer who ended up dropping the project because he thought it would be impossible for the app to be approved on the App Store due to the use of WebView and because it’s a simple app.
How the app works:
There’s a home screen showing all the company’s units.
When you tap on a unit, it shows its details.
On the details screen, there’s a button that opens an internal exam consultation system in a WebView.
The rest of the app (navigation, data display, etc.) is all react native.
The app also stores those informations offline.
My questions:
Can using WebView just for this exam consultation part be a problem for approval?
Does adding offline storage really help increase the chances?
Is there any way to distribute the app without going through the App Store?
I appreciate any information you can share.
