Whatever layer (Mono, Java, ...) you may want to add, just let it generate C code instead of native code. Problem solved.

- wmf 17y agoNo, if your app is originally written in C# or Java and compiled to C you lose. At best you could try to play hide-and-seek so that binary analysis won't reveal any hint of the source language.
- albertzeyer 17y ago"Originally written" is not really well defined anyway. Nor can be determined when you got pure C code at the last step.
- jcdreads 17y agoMy apps are always originally written with pencil on paper, then in pseudocode that gradually transforms into something that runs. Even those with nothing but ObjC sources. This new requirement seems, if not unenforceably arbitrary, then at least incredibly hostile to developers. Alas.
- gte910h 17y agoHonestly, I could see a judge striking down that clause due to the lack of definition on "originally". This seemingly prevents ports to the iPhone of stuff originally developed on other platforms in say, Java.
- ryanhuff 17y agoI agree that seems to be the solution. It does push some of these vendors (Adobe) back months though, which may be their strategy.
