IOS app rejected from Apple App Store because UIWebview
Got a rejection from Apple:
Upon further consideration, we noticed that your app contains only links, images, or content aggregated from the web, with or without limited iOS functionality. We understand that this content may be web-based courier content specifically for your users, but as it is not different enough from a mobile web browser experience, it is not suitable for the App Store.
Basically we are using UIWebview and safari. we use UIWebview to display content. and when we click the banner, we open the link in safari. I already explain how
We have one admin panel from where we add this detail. But based on our requirement, we must redirect the user to a specific link or show content. and we used HTML content to make things easier. But we only used webview in detail. The rest of the screen has native iOS functionality.
So basically we don't collect data on the site. we show our own panel detail in the app.
Yet they rejected the application.

I am having the same difficulty with my application (it grabs content from my company site, like pictures and text, and displays it in its native language). To be clear, I am not using any webviews to display content except for the Videos tab (see below).
I wanted to share what I have done so far to make it more "native" so you don't waste your time. For example, my app is tabbed (research, blog posts, events, videos, bookmarks).
- Added offline reading capabilities with bookmarks for reading blog posts and resume resumes.
- Added SpeechSynthesizer so reports can be read to user
- Added push notifications for publishing new content.
- Removed UIWebViews and replaced with Safari services (I am using WKWebView to embed video in UITableView)
Unfortunately, none of this worked.
