Website to App

Question

If I have a finished PHP / SQL website is it possible to upload the files and database to godaddy so the site is live on godaddy then use the link and iframe it or whatever the equivalent to an iframe is in Xcode. Then upload the site to the App Store? I want to use Xcode so it is easier to upload app icons, Use the iPhone simulator and so I don’t have to use a third party site to make my mobile friendly php / godaddy site into an app.. I don’t want to waste my time re-writing the finished php website over again in swift but I want to use Xcode for external features.. basically I just want to mask my website in Xcode to upload it to the App Store. Is that possible? Any advice is appreciated it is my first project I’ve ever wanted on the app store. Thanks.

I'm not an iOS expert, but I think what you're looking for is:

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/wkwebview

The equivalent on the Android side is (was) Android System WebView, but that has been deprecated recently because Google made it a part of Chrome. Not sure of the history on the Apple side.

Maybe someone more qualified will jump in on this thread though. :)
