Everybody knows which platform is wealthiest in terms of mobile apps. Yes, it is iOS that dominates over other platforms when they are weighed-up for the numbers of apps they have. Apart from apps on iTunes, iOS powered devices also have more web apps and websites than others. The improved Safari browser has also made the development of web applications and websites for iPhone and iPad simpler and easier. More and more companies are discovering the benefits of launching web apps and websites for iOS powered devices.

Until now, most developers were not aware of the techniques to optimize a website and web app for iOS devices. But, with Safari’s support to CSS3 and HTML, iOS web application developers have got improved tools to build powerful web app that deliver functions and look and feel similar to native apps. Newer web tools and technologies have made the idea of web application development for iPad and iPhone easily implementable.

The advantages of iPad or iPhone Web Application Development

• Apple has a tough process for approving native apps. Each native app needs to pass through a rigorous submission and approval process. But your web app does not require passing through any type of submission and approval process.
• You do not have enough control over a native app. In spite good features, all you can do is to hope for the best. But, if you a have web app, you can have full control over sales, promotion, etc.
• If your web app is a paid app, you would never need to share a considerable percent of your revenue with Apple.
• With little efforts the entire code of an iOS web app can also be optimized to show up on other platforms like Android, Blackberry, Windows, etc. You will not need to develop separate apps for separate operating systems, thus.
• Web apps can be built quicker than native apps.
• Native iPad or iPhone application development requires thorough knowledge of objective C while a web based application development doesn’t require such knowledge. Web technologies and tools are simpler than programming and development.
• When you make change in a web based iPad or iPhone application, user will not need to update its app for same changes.

The Disadvantages of iPad or iPhone Web Application Development

• Web applications do not have permission to access in-built features of iPad or iPhone.
• Your app will not be displayed on the App Store.
• Web app cannot be installed as traditional apps.
• Web apps cannot be accessed without an internet connection.
