I only spent a couple seconds looking at this site, but I think the answer is yes to your question, because HTML and Javascript aren't compiled in iOS applications, like images and icons aren't either. Only the Objective-C code is compiled (as far as I know, and I could be wrong). https://www.pragmaticcode.com/crunch/ I'd caution you on building an iOS app that is largely based on HTML/Javascript. Apple feels that if an app is basically a website, then it doesn't need to be an app. They like developers to use native features of iOS. There are plenty of plugins that can be used to help develop your apps. Don't hesitate to shout out if you need more help! Mark Comments Hello @dcastill, Welcome to Buzztouch!

It will be easy to make it so much better by using Buzztouch plugins for menus, and your HTML screens for content. Comments Great advice, Mark! It's highly unlikely Apple will approve it.
