Yes, if the issues are in the webview portion of the app then all standard HTML reading order and focus control mechanisms would apply. That is, reading order would be controlled by the order of the document object model and focus could be set with .focus() etc. With hybrid apps it's not always clear what content is native or web. One trick I use is to turn the rotor -- if I see web options in the rotor I know I'm in a web view -- otherwise I am in a native portion of the app. Both would contain heading rotor options if that is in your rotor -- so you can't rely on the headings option to make this determination.
