As this simply wraps a web view, and doesn't really add anything more than what Safari does, isn't the odds of it ever being accepted by the App Store very small?

Cordova apps are accepted because they do have an API into phone functions.

First app I ever built was a Cordova-based database of visa requirements for US Citizens. You could find a country by Name or see all countries that you could visit without a visa or with instant visa at the border.

I had dreams of using it myself when wandering the world without a local internet connection and seeing where I wanted to fly to next.

Apple rejected it saying it was nothing more than a web page wrapped in an app.

If you build it in Ionic (which was built on top of Cordova), you can get it onto the device via Ionic View. http://view.ionic.io/

There may be other solutions, but this is what I'm currently familiar/playing with.

I submitted a JavaScript/Canvas based game, created on a game jam, and it got approved without any problems. [1] https://appsto.re/de/hxAB5.i

To add another anecdote, we just wrapped a webapp [0] and it was accepted. It's pretty easy to get into the app store, it's my understanding that Apple stopped truly vetting apps (there are some pretty terrible, broken apps on the app store approved by Apple).

Well, I think it depends on the content of the application. If you take your website and straight up drop it into this, it will probably be rejected.

If you build something that fetches train times, or a game like 2048, then you have an iOS app that just happens to be built in HTML.

This boilerplate is useless without some good content put inside it :)
