There is a mobile version of the site. Need to make apps for ios.

The application must be completely identical to the mobile site, so I don’t see any sense in making the application from scratch. Is it possible to insert a mobile site into an application, how can this be implemented?

    Yes, there is, use a mobile browser and make the layout responsive to mobile screens, if one does not already exist. - JVic

    No you can not. These are completely different things! And either to cut (and if it is still “completely identical to the mobile site” - very much to cut) a new application or “read above” - JVic
  • yes everything is possible. make a UIWebView and show your website in it - Max Mikheyenko
  • 1. Question about iOS, but for some reason android in tags. 2. This can be done, but there is nothing to do, because there is a mobile site. - Vladyslav Matviienko

You can do it if:

  • The site is set up on "clean" html, i.e. no server code generation: asp.net, php
  • server requests go through ajax

If the above points are executed, then you can safely use Apache Cordova , although the code will still have to be rewritten a bit.

I myself have been using this technology for a long time and I think that it is better to always write a separate application for a mobile phone (it will take much less time), with a separate design (although you can use the style of the site itself). You can make such applications using Sencha

    Some applications simply display the site in UIWebView. If a site with adaptive layout, then you can do just that. But, of course, at your own risk.

      You can do everything, another question to persuade the apple to take it to the app. In particular, this is what they write there

      4.2 Minimum Functionality

      Your app should include features, content, and UI that elevate it beyond a repackaged website. The app store doesn’t have to be on the app store. If your app doesn’t provide it, it’s not worth it. Apps that are simply a song or movie should not be submitted to the iTunes store. IBooks Store.
