Problem (is it really a problem?) with Apple is that if they see an app that is just links to an external site they are almost certain to kick it back. So in and of itself what you say would be a problem. So there must be a fix I hear you say, yes? OK. You'll need to make it more than just a pretty WP site within an app, they can just add that shortcut to their home screen. 1. Add user polls or quizzes. 2. Add a user gallery tailoring it to the blog topics. 3. Use a nice menu like the Mosaic plugin as your home screen and customize the heck out of your links and tiles. 4. Add Scringo so users can interact within your app. 5 Do something that makes it more than just a web site within an app. These are old schools fixes but if you need a direction you can do worse. It is possible yes, why of course, but you'll need to add in some native functionality. Comments If you want to publish to app store you will have a problem.
