Apple launched iOS with first class HTML5 apps downloadable to home screen to run offline, and continues to support those, adding capability and access to native APIs with every release while striving to maintain security.

// What Apple does not like is when you take what is effectively an HTML5 app and pretend it's a native app. And anyway, why do that?
