Steve Jobs bans all apps from iPhone (or thereabouts)
Found on The Register on Thursday, 15 April 2010
The much-discussed software development kit for the upcoming iPhone OS 4.0 says that native applications must be "originally written" in Objective C, C, or C++, forbidding developers from using any sort of "translation or compatibility layer."
And what if you take an application that was already written in some other language for some other platform and rewrite it for the iPhone? Is that a translation too?
When you write a shader with an OpenGL script, you're not coding in Objective C. And what about XML?
It's amazing how much of this Mac fanboys can handle. Every other hardware manufacturer would have been out of business already, because others don't have blindly following zombies.
