I don't have a link to an open soruce app that is in the store. Most developers that are putting their apps in the store are not releasing their source. The latest download of the 1.6 beta has 31 example apps included. Some of these examples are pure JavaScript and others use the Objective-C layer. There is one example using jQTouch but not iUI. The jQTouch example was supplied by a user of the QC framework. I'd love to add an iUI example app but I'm totally tied up getting the 1.6 release done. > > > I can tell you that if your app has a web, GameKit, or Bonjour > > component of some type and it won't work without connectivity then > > Apple will reject it.

Here is a URL to a posting on the QC development blog about a company that was written in pure JavaScript. It is a nurse scheduling app that uses the Enterprise Data Synchronization feature of QC. http://tetontech.wordpress.com/2010/03/01/quickconnect-used-by/ > > > You can accomplish this same reachability check in JavaScript using > > the XMLHttpRequest object.

There is only one file that has a dependency on Objective-C code in QuickConnect. That file is the com.js file. The dependency you are seeing in the ServerAccessObject.js file is to the implementation of the application controller pattern. This dependency allows the AJAX calls made in the SAO to appear to be synchronous to the developer while they are really asynchronous. Unlike PhoneGap, QuickConnect is a full, highly modular framework. For QuickConnect this means that the developer can focus on functionality and display rather than on the 'glue code' that we usually have to write to associate functions, objects, etc. You can borrow anything you would like from QC.
