Deploy WebGL applications as native iOS or Android applications?

Question

Does anyone know of a way in which you can deploy a WebGL app as a native iOS or Android app? Commercial middleware is acceptable, although an open project would be preferable.

Answer 1

Bundling WebKit and your app's resources (.js, textures, etc) into an iOS or Android application doesn't sounds too much difficult. I'm assuming that since Google and Apple are major contributors to the WebKit project, all the required support (for multitouch and other stuff) is already there.

PS: many iOS apps use interpreted Javascript or Lua. The rules are there to prevent your app to execute 3rd party code (esp from the internet), not the code you'd bundle in your own app.

EDIT: To clarify, I think you'd need to implement your own web view using webkit (built from source) in order to use WebGL and pass Apple's screening process, as activating WebGL in the Apple-provided web view will get your app rejected.
