The animations are smooth and I wouldn't be able to tell if it was native or not based on what the app can do.

The problem is, the app doesn't DO anything. There's no scrolling. There's no loading anything from the web (except for the blurry non-retina ads). There isn't anything in this app that makes it a candidate for an app (vs a website) in the first place.

Scrolling feels 100% native using -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;

I am currently working on the next (more complicated) app for UberMedia that has all of those components and works very nicely. It will be one month or so before it is ready for release.

-webkit-overflow-scrolling:touch disables the feature where tapping the phone's status bar scrolls content back to the top. That has been a showstopper for most of the things I have worked on.

True. I wonder if there's a fix for this in PhoneGap, at least.

One workaround that was functional but subpar experience-wise:

Put a transparent UIView over the status bar and wire it up to call a javascript function on your UIWebView using stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString.

That sounds like a bug. Have you submitted a radar on it?

You can fake it with some pretty simple Javascript.

I have tried many a workaround, all quickly reveal a pretty crappy non-native experience.
