I am seeing a lot companies popping up that are offering services that let you build apps using your own RSS feeds, photo feeds, etc. Some even say that you can instantly have the app run on your iPhone.
How are they doing this? Even if they somehow created a script that could automate the Apple Provisioning Process, aren't they limited to 100 device IDs, and don't their apps still need to be approved?
Are they not being transparent with their customers, or am I missing something big?
And there are a ton more out there
My guess is that they are controling the client on the appStore. You provide content with the constraint of their client.
Looking at swebapps, it looks like they are actually submitting a native app, on your behalf, to Apple. Remains the mystery on how they can update functionality without resubmitting to Apple.
All apps built through the SwebApps platform rely upon media and data stored on cloud servers. Hosting on cloud servers allows our apps to be updated in real time, without re-submitting updates to Apple and requiring users to download an update
