Native feature
An image widget your server keeps current, quick actions, Siri phrases and alternate icons on iOS, plus the honest Android alternatives. Pick your builder for the widget endpoint and the prompt.
From $109 one-time per platform, or let our team do it all from $698.
A home screen widget that shows an SVG or PNG your server renders: today's numbers, the next booking, a streak. Your web app points it at an image with widget://https://yourdomain.com/widget.svg?t=TOKEN; widgetRefreshTime (minutes) and widgetfallbackURL in Config.swift set the refresh interval and the fallback image.
Set useShortcuts to true in Config.swift and define actions in Shortcuts.json: a title, a redirection_link, optional JavaScript injection and an SF Symbol. Users see them when they long-press the app icon.
With the optional Siri add-on (sold separately; you enter its plugin token in siriEnabled), a link such as addtosiri://?command=Log%20Water&jsFunction=logWater() lets the user add a phrase that runs a JavaScript function in your web app.
Ship up to three alternative icons (dark, classic, seasonal) and let users switch with changeicon://icon1 to changeicon://icon3, or back with changeicon://default. iOS confirms each change with a system notice.
Each of these features should save the user a step. Good fits for typical vibe-coded apps:
Next appointment, next class, next delivery window. A widget image rendered by your backend answers "when is it?" without opening the app.
Habit streaks, savings goals, sales today, words written. One big number and a label read well at widget size.
Quick actions like "New entry", "Scan receipt" or "Today" open the right screen directly, so the app feels faster than the website.
Siri phrases for "Start workout", "Log a glass of water" or "Play my station", where tapping is inconvenient.
Alternate icons as a small reward for subscribers or a dark-mode icon for people who care about their home screen.
Not through WebViewGold. The widget, Shortcuts.json quick actions, Siri phrases and alternate icons are features of the iOS project. On Android, use push notifications that open a specific URL, App Links and the share target; a native Android widget is possible as custom work in the Android Studio project you receive, but it is not a documented WebViewGold feature.
It shows an image that your server renders, reloaded on the interval you set in widgetRefreshTime. iOS budgets widget refreshes, so treat it as recent rather than real time. The widget has no buttons of its own; tapping it opens the app.
It supports the Guideline 4.2 argument because it is something a website cannot do, as long as it shows useful content from the app. Put it in a screenshot and mention it in the review notes so the reviewer actually looks for it.
Same result, different amount of work on your side. All three come with the approval guarantee and 24/7 human support.
