All of this can be reason to reject an app during submission review. Google and Apple could update their guidelines and start enforcing them.
I mean if I would Apple I would go even stricter. In Info.plist you declare list of domains which can be accessed with webview and reason why. Just like you declare reason why you should have access to photos or a camera. Everything other would straight open in browser.
Also there is a solution to make component which acts as a webview, but in fact is blackboxed main browser which app has no access to, just like PHPicker photos select in ios 15
I want you to look at some other languages beside javascript. Take a look at Swift or Ruby. Compared to them it feels like 60% of js code is boilerplate. 200 lines of js can be fit in 60 lines of Swift. All because js stdlib is just sucks. I’m tired of this silly ‘someArray.length ? someArray[someArray.length - 1] : null’, I want just ‘someArray.last()’
