How to make an iPhone app, based on html/javascript?
I want to make an application with html/javascript, for the iPhone. However, I'm not looking to get it on the app store. I want it to be dowloadable from a website, kind of like OpenAppMkt. They would visit the page, then click add to home screen (shortcut), then it will be the app. Does anyone know how to do this?
HTML and Java Script are NOT programming languages.
HTML is a Mark Up Language for writing web pages only.
To write an Application you need a High Level programming Language like C+
It basically depends on what the app is supposed to be able to do. Is it enough if it's a website that looks like an app? Or does it have to be able to access stuff like the accelerometer, and files?
There's a framework called Cordova / PhoneGap, where you create a one page website with HTML and JavaScript. JavaScript has access to additional objects to use the phone's hardware. The website is then wrapped to make it an actual app.
This is the only way I know of, short of actually learning Swift and coding a native iPhone app.

- Why aren't all websites HTML yet? It is so annoying how whenever I try watch something on my PS4 or iPhone, the "Flash Player Required" sign comes up!
- JavaScript sample, what does this mean? My partne had local slags on hi iPhone history. He says this came from an advert that popped up on words with friends. However right before local slags on his iPhone history it said 'JavaScript sample' what does this mean? Does this mean that it's something to do with a pop up and he is telling truth or does it have something to do with private browsing? What is javascript sample and why would this be in iPhone history?
- Is it possible to change scroll bar in HTML? Http://www.apple.com/iphone-5s/ I would like to imitate the scroll bar of the website above but with only HTML. I want it to function just like the one there. If you could give me the code, that would be great, but please also tell me how and where to put it. I only know HTML, nothing in CSS or javascripting.
- Is creating an iPhone tutoring app based off of a textbook considered plagiarism? I had been thinking about creating an iPhone app that would be based off of my beginning accounting class by summarizing/ paraphrasing the chapters in the textbook into easily understandable 'lessons' that cover those chapters. my accounting textbook happens to actually be a compilation of chapters from many different books from various authors. If I'm determined to make this iPhone tutoring app, what would be the necessary steps to take in order to avoid being sued?
