As I understand, Sencha Touch is just a javascript library that lets you create websites that respond to multitouch and other features you find in native iPhone apps. So... Your end result is accessed on Safari on the iPhone, and not as a native iPhone app. Is there a way to convert this to a native app?
Yes, you can convert a Sencha Touch app to native. You have to use PhoneGap, or Nimblekit to do so. You can also write your own native wrappers - it's not very hard on iPhone, but more of a challenge on Android. We don't have a tutorial on this yet, but the phonegap guys have done this with at least one sencha app that they built. [I work for sencha]
Update: Here is a crazily detailed tutorial on using PhoneGap with Sencha
