Based on some experience with Cordova I can't recommend this approach.
I'm yet to become familiar with Meteor so correct me if I'm wrong – Meteor's build on DDP, right? There's an iOS library out there - https://github.com/alansikora/objective-c_ddp-client.
It should be possible to create a native app without JS.
EDIT: there's one more - https://github.com/boundsj/ObjectiveDDP, this one was built specifically for Meteor!

@hexrain yes, it's possible. I already did an native iOS app with Meteor.

[engelgabriel]

@hexrain we will do the Cordova first, and leave the full native for later, and probably keep both.

thoughts on using something like famo.us for the rendering?

The Rocket.Chat Native iOS Application project has started. https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat.iOS
Who wants to join in? The plan is to use Swift.

Hey folks, we are testing our hybrid app for iOS, if you want to test the application please send me your email (apple id) to support at rocket.chat with subject ios-app and we will add your email to our testflight.

how can I config the app to use my own host and not the demo one?

I just asked myself the same question. It is related to RocketChat/Rocket.Chat.iOS#46
