running Sencha Touch Web Application as local app on jailborken iPhone

[openthesky7]

I was wondering if it is possible to run Sencha Touch applicaion on iPhone without network connection.

If you have jailbroken iphone it is possible. I've checked it. It works

I assume that you have sshd on the device.

1. Create directory /private/var/opt/WEBAPPS where you will locate your local webapps. Create in WEBAPPS folder YOUR_WEBAPP_NAME with your web application and copy it to this location via scp.
2. Create shortcut to your network Sencha Touch web application on home screen.
3. In directory /private/var/mobile/Library/WebClips/ you will find folder [some_hex_numbers].webclip with Info.plist pointing to you application.
4. Modify the Info.plist file:

<key>URL</key>                                                                                                  
<string>file:///private/var/opt/WEBAPPS/YOUR_WEBAPP_NAME/index.html</string>

Hint: You could have problem with absolute file location in html and css files. So you will have to correct files.

Voila! : ) Right now you can run your application localy without network. Could be helpful to run static application frame or something else not using network.

interesting, do you think is it possible to package the files as an ipa archive, too?

I assume that you could do this with PhoneGap.
