    Isn't this exactly what Cordova does? You mention "so you don't have to use Cordova", but you don't mention what the advantages are.

    Now for a program to turn iPhone apps into web pages. Immediate download! No app store! No space tied up on your phone! Searchable with Google!

    Thank you!

    I've been waiting for so long for something simple like this to popup. Bonus points for also making an Android version: https://github.com/nabilfreeman/android-webview-boilerplate

    As this simply wraps a web view, and doesn't really add anything more than what Safari does, isn't the odds of it ever being accepted by the App Store very small?

    Cordova apps are accepted because they do have an API into phone functions.
