single page layout as default (native apps)
I suggest to change default layout to single page layout
Why? Only single page layout gives us page transitions similar to iOS experience (slide should be default as well) - as you probably know, lack of iOS type of styling and behavior will get your app rejected in App Store
In order to make this experience happen, pages shouldn't triger any REST calls until page is loaded, when page loads - mostl likely empty, call is made and with some small delay page is populated based on REST output. Only this will allow pages to transition smootlhy - in every other case, transitions are pointless and won't work (for native apps)
what to do?
test that single page layout triggers REST calls properly each tine page is visited, need ot resolve cache issues
determine which event fires right after page is loaded - sorts like web behavior, you see page, DOM is created and then ajax fires to populate empty DOM element
without providing this ability and iOS experience using native app just simply sucks
- assuming it will not get rejected
