Re: Android app access business logic and data on i

[Pete Helgren <pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

All true words...I am tired of apps that basically ask for access to 
everything.  Not a good idea.

But the OP should take a serious look at Progressive Web Apps (PWA's).  
They look identical to a native app. The ability to find and install the 
web "app" just by accessing the web site leads to higher conversion 
rates of visitors to customers.  AliBaba switched from an app to a 
PWA..not some fly by night 
outfit....https://developers.google.com/web/showcase/2016/alibaba

I get the "Don't fight city hall" approach but sometimes you just have 
to shine a light in the right direction.
