What is WebViewGold?
WebViewGold is an innovative no-code WebView app template for Xcode (or use WebViewGold Cloud Builder instead; sold separately) designed to make things easier for you: Convert your website into an iOS app in minutes using your existing web app as the basis. Create your own apps for iPhone & iPad with just a few clicks and without any understanding of code – the WebViewGold app template wraps your URL content into a real, native iOS app! No more coding, no more plugins needed, it just works.

How will my app look?
Your app will work as a full-screen browser. All the changes you make on your website will be applied to your iOS app immediately. Users will navigate your web app exactly as your web app on iOS Safari Browser without the browser interface. Please take a look at our example apps.

Do I need any coding skills to convert my website into an app?
No. WebViewGold is a 100%-ready app template, and the setup of your app works without any understanding of coding. Just insert your website address, and you are done. Documentation and free updates are included.

Can I convert a website or web app built with no-code / AI tools like Lovable, base44, or Replit into an app?
Absolutely. If your project runs in the Safari browser, WebViewGold can convert it into a native iOS app – no matter if it was created with Lovable, base44, Replit, bubble, Webflow, Wix, Figma Make, WordPress, or hand-written code. Simply publish your project to a URL and insert it into WebViewGold. This makes WebViewGold the ideal companion for AI app builders and no-code platforms: prototype your web app with your favorite tool, then convert it into a real App Store app.

Will Apple approve this WebView app for the Apple App Store?
Yes, WebViewGold comes with an Apple App Store approval guarantee. Take a look at our example apps. However, make sure that your app content does not contradict the legal requirements of the Apple App Store. If Apple rejects your WebView app, we can offer you a full refund of the WebViewGold license (by claiming within 14 days after purchase). Feel free to send all the details to support@onlineappcreator.com – we are happy to help you.

What do I need, what are the requirements?
WebViewGold is a 100% ready full app template. You need to have an existing web app or website that you want to convert into an app. Afterward, just download the WebViewGold app template and follow the easy step-by-step documentation. For iOS, the latest Xcode app (running on your own Mac or MacInCloud.com) is needed (or use WebViewGold Cloud Builder instead; sold separately). For an App Store app submission, a developer account from Apple is required. No coding knowledge is required.

Will my app work offline?
If you provide a local HTML folder, yes. If your web content is hosted on a website, your app will display a beautiful Offline screen with a “Try again” button instead. Moreover, WebViewGold offers a fallback mode that uses an HTML folder if the user is offline, and uses a remote URL if the user is online.

What’s new in the latest update?
Please check the changelog here. WebViewGold receives frequent updates for the latest iOS versions, new native APIs, and SDK updates (e.g., RevenueCat, OneSignal, and Pushwoosh).

Can you create an individual demo app for me?
Unfortunately, we cannot build custom apps as a demo. But your app will look and work like your web app in Safari (iOS). If this is not the case, you get a 100% refund of your money paid for the WebViewGold license (by claiming within 14 days after purchase). We want you to see us as a partner you can always rely on – even in the unlikely case of trouble with the Apple App Store Review Team. Please check out the example apps.

How can I ensure that my web app/website has a great, app-like user experience that satisfies my future app users?
Please consider a professional User Experience/UX Review on UXreviewer.io or similar services. Such a UX review with suggestions for improvement helps you to achieve better customer retention for your website, web app, and app.

Can you help me with the App Store submission process / publishing with Apple?
Yes, support for specific questions or problems during the publishing process is free (terms and conditions apply). Or choose our App Publishing Service or Cloud Builder; both sold separately.

Do you have a refund policy?
Yes! If Apple rejects your app, we offer you a full refund of your WebViewGold license (by claiming within 14 days after purchase).

Can I contact you if I need custom app solutions?
Yes, at any time. We create transparent quotes for high-quality apps, and we use the best tools (like Slack) for collaborating on joint projects.

Why choose WebViewGold as your website to app converter?
Since 2014, WebViewGold has helped thousands of businesses, agencies, and creators turn websites into apps for the Apple App Store – from WordPress sites and Progressive Web Apps to AI-generated projects from Lovable, base44, and Replit. With native features like Push Notifications, Face ID, QR Code Scanner, In-App Purchases, HealthKit, Siri, and Apple Shortcuts, your WebView app feels like a fully native iOS app – without the cost and complexity of native development.
