Menu buttons in phonegap ios App

Question

I've been tasked to make a mobile app, which isn't really an App as such, it's more a mobile website, wrapped up to be an app.

My question is, if i build the site using html5 and conventional web standards, do i need to change the way i am effectively building my menu button to an actual ios button type, or will it work fine as an tag styled up to look like a button?

Also, is there somewhere i can go to find the criteria that an app needs to meet in order to get onto the app store?

Thanks in advance. *It's the clients wish that this is made into an app, even though yes, it could just be a mobile website.

Answer 1

Phonegap is used to make use of HTML,CSS,Java Script which fills of gap of having native plugins for each platform.

You can make and feel your app look like app using many Java script frameworks. Choose wisely any framework because it may cause bad issues later. JqueryMobile is one of them which are creating problems now.Phonegap will not give you the same look and feel but it will create app across many platforms

Answer 2

If you use jQueryMobile it should be enough (from my experience) to style it as iOS and it looks good. Its very easy to use too.

Here's a link from Apple for their requirements for apps. I think you have to have an Apple ID to see it though.
