@Sam: You can always develop and deploy web apps without Apple’s approval. Just put it up on your server and tell the world about it. If you want to create an app for distribution on the App Store then you need Apple’s approval. Apple is not so keen on native apps that are just web apps wrapped inside a UIWebView, and you may get rejected. It depends on the features of the app. If you can show that your app needs to be native because there are some features that cannot be implemented just using Safari, then approval should be easier.

@subharb: Not sure where that error comes from. I don’t see that method call in the code above.

Hello,

Great post, but I get this error: -[NSURL length]: unrecognized selector sent to instance
After loading the HTML, any ideas?

Thanks.

this works very well and fast but it does not load images if I give baseurl instead of nil. It takes few seconds to load.

NSURL *myUrl = [[NSURL alloc] initFileURLWithPath:self.contentPath];
//NSLog(@”Content url is %@”,myUrl);

NSString *string = [[NSString alloc]initWithContentsOfFile:self.contentPath encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding error:nil];
[contentDisplay loadHTMLString:string baseURL:nil]; //here nil if replaced by myUrl webView takes time to load. Any help ?
[string release];
[myUrl release];

Hi All. If you are still interested in this topic I prepare an example in my blog and pointed the links to the blogs I used to build a page with local resources using UIWebView.

I hope this will save your time. I wm will be happy if you share your opinion on my blog.

@pramod: There seems to be a lot of confusion surrounding UIWebView and caching on the iPhone. I have not done any testing myself so unfortunately I cannot add any clarity. But this Stack Overflow entry seems to have the best overview of the situation.
