SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Turning an existing website, PWA, or web dashboard into an iOS app is risky: Apple rejects thin website wrappers under App Store Guideline 4.2, and teams often discover this only after a rejection. This Skill audits a live URL, assesses wrapper-rejection exposure, and produces a concrete conversion plan before any code is written. ## Core Features & Use Cases - URL Audit: Generates SITE_TO_IOS_AUDIT.md covering routes, auth, payments, PWA signals, responsive behavior at iPhone widths, and App Store 4.2 wrapper risk. - Conversion Planning: Produces SITE_TO_IOS_PLAN.md with a chosen strategy (Capacitor remote shell, bundled shell, SwiftUI shell, or full native rebuild), required native value, build commands, QA matrix, and release gate. - 4.2 Rejection Gate: Flags when an app would be a bookmark or content mirror and names the native value (push, deep links, native settings, account deletion) needed before submission. - Use Case: A SaaS founder with a scheduling dashboard asks to put it on the App Store; the Skill audits the site, finds missing account deletion and Sign in with Apple, recommends a Capacitor remote shell with push notifications, and holds the release gate until blockers are resolved. ## Quick Start Audit https://your-site.example and plan its conversion into an iOS app, flagging any App Store 4.2 rejection risk before scaffolding anything.

Frequently Asked Questions about site-to-ios-app

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn my website into an iOS app?▼

Audit the live URL first to map routes, auth, payments, and responsive behavior, then choose a strategy such as a Capacitor remote shell or full native rebuild. The Skill writes an audit and plan document with build commands, native value requirements, and a release gate.

What is App Store Guideline 4.2 and why do wrapper apps get rejected?▼

Guideline 4.2 (Minimum Functionality) rejects apps that are repackaged websites, bookmarks, or content mirrors with no native value. Adding native onboarding, settings, push notifications, universal links, and offline states is the typical mitigation.

Should I use a Capacitor shell or a full native SwiftUI rebuild?▼

Use a Capacitor remote shell when the live site is the product and web deploys should update behavior; use a bundled shell for packaged SPA assets. Choose a full SwiftUI rebuild when the site is mostly content, has weak mobile UX, or carries high wrapper-rejection risk.

Can I convert a PWA to an iOS app for the App Store?▼

Yes, a PWA with a manifest and service worker converts well via a Capacitor bundled or remote shell. The remaining work is adding native value, offline behavior, store screenshots, metadata, and privacy answers.

What blocks App Store submission for a converted website?▼

Common blockers include missing self-serve account deletion, absent Sign in with Apple when third-party social login exists, unresolved 4.2 wrapper risk, and payment flows that violate policy. The release gate holds until these are resolved.

When should I not use this site-to-iOS conversion approach?▼

Do not use it when no website exists yet, when an existing Capacitor shell only needs repair or a release run, for Android conversions, or for keyword and listing audits on an app that already shipped.
