> "Is Apple about to dump apps built wit frameworks like Ionic, React Native or Cordova?"

> For now they are not impacted. But as you will see there is a good sign they soon will be. Per the language Apple uses in their guidelines, the future of hybrid apps rather fragile.

That's like arguing that apps built with Apple's own UIKit are soon to be subject to removal, because UIKit is a "framework."

Pretty much. And there are some pretty important apps built with react.

I think this is more intended to remove the plethora of cookie cutter apps.

Apple already clarified these rules and cleared up a lot of what this article is concerned about.

I imagine Basecamp's iOS app could well be affected by this. A company which revolutionised web development fails to get the Apple seal of approval. Walled garden is too tame a label. I hate Apple's arrogance. In some ways they're worse than the Microsoft of 2000. Guess whose browser is the only one still not supporting progressive web apps?
