Ionic2 as front end, ios custom app without cordova as backend

Is possible to create an app and then use Ionic2 just for front end, without the cordova wrapper?
I saw some discussion and examples around the web, but they don’t make clear how i can call Ionic2 from swift3, and vice-versa without it. My ideia is to use the “WebViewJavascriptBridge” (https://github.com/marcuswestin/WebViewJavascriptBridge) to build a simple bridge. I just need a way to navigate views passing data, or just update data on the screen, and be notified back and the ui is clicked.
If it’s possible, where do i find the relevant documentation? Some have tried this yet?

Any guidance will be appreciated :slight_smile:

And why would you do that?
Ionic (on iOS and Android) is unusable without Cordova

Why use Ionic?

If your only going to support iOS why not do all your development in Objective-C/Swift?

Yes, you just won’t have access to any devices features (e.g., camera, etc.).

Sure, take a look at some other projects that use WebViewJavascriptBridge:

Ionic components are high quality, well documented and got all features that i need. But, i also needs a tighter integration with the OS. Specially media, i need to sync media over network, and this needs to be on the native side. I need the cordova app to be trasparent so the media shows through it.
