Yayy!

Swarm SG was approved and is now available on the app store.

• Web: http://SwarmSG.com
• Itunes: http://bit.ly/d2b18u

After uploading it, it took 6 days to move from "Waiting For Review" status into "In Review" status.

Once it switched to "In Review" it was approved and live within 24 hours.

Not sure why it was approved 1st time round but I did pay special attention to things like making sure the app opened in the same state it was closed in, along with trying to keep a fairly sensible UI.

The app is almost 100% HTML/JavaScript and uses one webview.

This is what the app.js looks like

var webView = Titanium.UI.createWebView({url:'index.html', 
backgroundColor : '#000000', height : 1024.0, width: 768.0});
var appWin = Titanium.UI.createWindow({fullscreen: true , 
backgroundColor : '#000000', height : 1024.0, width: 768.0});
appWin.orientationModes = [
    Titanium.UI.PORTRAIT
];

appWin.add(webView);

setTimeout(function()
{
    appWin.open();
},2000);

/*
* LIBS & EVENTS
* Titanium.API.info('Trace Something');
*/

Ti.App.addEventListener('saveAppState', function(appState) 
{
    Titanium.App.Properties.setString("appState",JSON.stringify(appState));
});

Ti.App.addEventListener('loadAppState', function() 
{
    var appState = Titanium.App.Properties.getString("appState");
    if ( appState != null )
    {
        webView.evalJS("var savedState = JSON.parse('"+appState+"');");
    }
});

function trace(str)
{
    webView.evalJS("trace('"+str+"')");
}

I've used Titanium to save the app state by passing a global vars javascript object by firing an event from .js inside the webview

The other trick to making an HTML app work fast has been NOT to use native html/javascript binding and links. Instead by using apples addEventListener it work wayyyy faster to do things like button clicks etc.

this.addEventListener('touchstart', function(e) { ..etc.. }, false);}

The setTimeout 2000 is in there so that the splash screen displays for a little longer.
