    Wow!

    If you played devil’s advocate to defend Apple’s stance, what are the best reasons you can come up with?

    I’ve been annoyed by some terrible apps that seemed to be “just like our business’s website… but somehow worse!”, though not in some time.

    Wonder if shady devs ever sell app-building services but simply deliver the client their own website in app form with zero benefits where a homescreen shortcut would’ve been equivalent. In that case the rule (which definitely seems at least to be misapplied) could cut down on spammy App Store submissions. Subsequently, saves Apple money on reviews!

    • I mean as you said, if it’s literally just a website it doesn’t belong in the App Store.

      But Voyager has always been optimized as an app. And this rule is definitely inconsistently applied according to other devs using Ionic :/ I think I just got unlucky.

      In any case, it all worked out, and at least there’s a watch app now lol 🤷‍♂️
