Does Apple reject “mobile web shell” applications?

by

Apple may reject your app if all it does is wrap a web site in a UIWebView. You need to have more functionality in your app than just loading a web page.

From the app review guidelines for iOS:

4.2 Minimum Functionality

Your app should include features, content, and UI that elevate it beyond a repackaged website. If your app is not particularly useful, unique, or “app-like,” it doesn’t belong on the App Store. If your App doesn’t provide some sort of lasting entertainment value, it may not be accepted.

You may want to investigate developing your company’s app as a mobile web app. There’s plenty of information published by Apple (and others) about how to write mobile web apps that function similarly to native iOS apps.
