What steps submitting an iPhone web-app written in DreamWeaver CS5.5?

I am considering using DreamWeaver to write a web app and deploying it to iPhone and Android. I watched a great video on this on Lynda.com. But I need to learn the steps AFTER completing the app on DreamWeaver, to submit the app to the Apple Store.

- Does the program need to be imported into Xcode?
- How is the Bitcode created? I heard that after DreamWeaver, I need to import it into Xcode.
- Where do I assign the high-resolution bitmap for the app? I saw that [using DreamWeaver] I have the ability to assign only one image as an App Icon. But watching the Xcode video I saw there is a high res and a low res version of that same icon which the developer must assign.

Whee can I learn about the steps needed to get a DreamWeaver created web app compiled into the iPhone bit code format?

Thanks!

Thanks!

Correct me if I'm wrong...

I do not need PhoneGap just to test the DreamWeaver created web-app on my own iPhone or Android. I do need PhoneGap to compile the program and submit it to the App Store.

But I do need a Development Team, create on the Apple Developer's site, if I want to test a DW app on my iPhone.

Let me know...

I say "web app" to differentiate it from a "native app", but we are talking about iPhone and Android apps.  I am using DreamWeaver with web technologies like HTML5, CSS3 and jQuery Mobile to write the app. Once done, I need to submit it to the App Store for approval and sale.

Are you saying people distribute iPhone web apps in clear HTML and jQuery? I thought PhoneGap behaved like Appcelerator, which compiles web apps into the format required by iPhone.

I do have a MacBook Pro (running Xcode 4) and an Apple Developer Account but have not yet dealt with creating certificates.

Curious about whether the target platform of a DreamWeaver created web app is the browser...

I plan to use PhoneGap and will read through those links you'd sent.

Thanks.
