iOS Web Application Directly Using Online URI

Will Apple App Store approve web apps that directly using online URL and resources?

Yes.

When I submitted my app to Apple App Store, I was worrying about a rule that forbidding downloading code in any way or form. And as a web app that downloads its main code only after installation, it does seem to violate this rule. But luckily, it’s finally approved.
