Are Corona SDK built apps - Native or Hybrid?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Could someone explain to me if Corona SDK built apps result in native apps like ones built using Objective-C or Java? Or do they result in Hybrid apps like one built using appMobi (HTML5, Javascript, etc)?

How does the Corona SDK built app access the device’s features (camera, GPS, etc)? Understand that I am NOT asking how to use the Corona SDK to access the device’s features. I can go to the online DOCs and the two books that I have for that. 

For example, appMobi (http://www.appmobi.com/) uses a native shell wrapped around a webview that contains your HTML5/Javascript app.

Thanks

Corona SDK apps are native apps.  The app is constructed of byte code compile from Lua source and that byte code is processed by a native hypervisor that is built in Objective C for iOS and Java for Android.  So for all intents and purposes, it’s considered native.  We do support webViews that let you do some HTML5/CSS/Javascript, kind of like a iFrame.  The access to the camera and GPS, etc. are done through native SDK’s.
