Good luck releasing a client like that on the App Store.

On what grounds is Apple or Google going to block it? You're using the website wrong?

Re Google, possibly through this, as per https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answ... ?

"We don’t allow apps that interfere with […] or access in an unauthorized manner […] other […] servers, networks, application programming interfaces (APIs), or services, including but not limited to other apps on the device, any Google service, or an authorized carrier’s network."

"Examples of common violations: […] Apps that access or use a service or API in a manner that violates its terms of service."

Doesn't matter, those policies won't mean much as soon as the EU forces Apple and Google to allow 3rd party app stores.

I would also argue that accessing a website is not an API or an undocumented feature but a public entity. Who decides how a browser is supposed to display a website? It's up to the browser maker not some app store review process. That is why we have moz- CSS and apple meta tags.
