Solution

  • It really depends on the framework and techniques you used for the original web-app. There are plenty of frameworks out there to build an iOS-web-app. For example jQuery mobile, you also might want to have a look into phonegap.

    For the first few steps I can really recommendend reading this free aviable book from o'reilly about creating iPhone-Apps with HTML, CSS and javascript.
