Hide website-only elements
Cookie banners, store badges, newsletter pop-ups, desktop navigation, the "Edit with …" builder badge. One CSS rule each in custom.css.
Typical app-only changes
App-like layout
Bigger tap targets, safe-area padding for fixed bars, a bottom navigation (or WebViewGold's native navigation footer), hidden page titles that the app bar already shows.
Behavior changes
Rewrite external links to open in the in-app browser, call successhaptic:// after form submits, hide the web checkout for digital goods and show the IAP button instead.
Prompt for Cursor
Paste this into Cursor to implement the web-app side. Review the result, publish, then test inside the WebViewGold app.
Prompt for the Cursor agent
This web app runs inside the WebViewGold native wrapper, whose user agent contains "WebViewGold". 1) Create lib/native.ts with isNativeApp() evaluated once. 2) Find every website-only element (marketing navigation, footer, cookie banner, app-store badges, "open in app" banners), add data-web-only to it and skip rendering it when isNativeApp() is true. 3) Add a BottomNav component with four main routes, fixed at the bottom, padding-bottom: env(safe-area-inset-bottom), rendered only in the native app; hide the top nav there and pad the content. 4) Add a Playwright test that sets userAgent to include "WebViewGold" and asserts the web-only elements are absent and the bottom nav is present. Report every file changed.
Great way of converting your web app to a native app! Fast turn-around, and a great way to get your apps into the app stores without the need to develop a full native app!
Two ways to do it for a Cursor app
Pick the one that matches how you work.
Option A: custom.css / custom.js in WebViewGold
Edit the two files in the Xcode and Android Studio projects (or the Cloud Builder fields). They are injected into every page. No deploy of your web app needed; a new app build ships the change.
Option B: detect the app in Cursor
Set a custom user agent in Config.swift / Config.java (for example append "WebViewGold"), then add a body class in your web app when it is detected and style
.in-appvariants in your normal stylesheet. Changes ship with every publish, no app update.Combine both
Use the user-agent class for things that change often (navigation, promotions) and custom.css for one-time clean-ups of elements you cannot easily change in the builder.
Verify in review conditions
Open the app on an iPhone and an Android phone, in portrait and landscape, and on an iPad: no desktop header, no horizontal scroll, nothing under the notch.
Starter custom.css
Adjust the selectors to your Cursor markup:
css
/* website-only elements */
#cookie-banner, .newsletter-popup, .app-store-badges, #lovable-badge, a[href*="lovable.dev"] { display: none !important; }
/* desktop navigation and footer links */
header .desktop-nav, footer .link-columns { display: none !important; }
/* safe area for fixed bars */
.bottom-bar { padding-bottom: env(safe-area-inset-bottom); }
/* comfortable tap targets */
button, .btn, a.nav-item { min-height: 44px; }Frequently asked questions
Does custom CSS change my website?
No. It is injected only inside the app. Visitors in Safari or Chrome see the site as before.
Can I inject JavaScript libraries?
Yes, custom.js runs on every page load inside the app. Keep it small and defensive: pages of your Cursor app may load before or after your script depending on the framework.
Do I need a new store version for CSS changes?
For changes in custom.css, yes (it ships with the app). If you want instant changes, use the user-agent detection in your web app instead.
