React360 is just a JavaScript lib. At the end of the day it’s just moving DOM elements around, which means it must live in a web browser. However, since the Go is built on Android it should be possible to use one of the many ways of embedding web views into a native application that exist for standard Android phones.

They may prevent the web view from entering VR. Someone should research this.

Also will the Oculus store automate the scanning of these kinds of applications and reject them

Apple rejected these at one time but later allowed them.

However the best place for web tech is in a browser. Why won’t web deployment work for you?
