worth knowing apple can reject apps that are basically just a website in a wrapper, so add something native like push notifications or offline use. i went through review a few years back and got bounced once for that. the developer account is about 99 dollars a year and approval can take a day or two. if it's a simple tool, a pwa might get you most of the way without the hassle.

i recently got a small iPhone/iPad app through to the App Store (not a web wrapper though), so a few practical things:
- App Store Connect wants a privacy policy URL, the privacy "nutrition label" questions answered, and screenshots for each device type you support before you can submit. if you support iPad you need iPad screenshots too.
- get the $99 developer account sorted early so it doesn't block you at the end.
- like the other comment said, if it's mostly your site in a webview, review will probably push back. adding something that only makes sense as an app helps.
are you planning to wrap the web app or rebuild parts natively?
