I don't agree with the conclusion here. If you're using MonoTouch you should panic. You should be looking at backup plans and asking yourself whether you can use web apps.
Because even if Apple decides not to drop the bomb today they might tomorrow or the next day. You're living on borrowed time if you use MonoTouch. It's not fair but it's true.
- j_baker 17y agoApple could drop the bomb on any language at any time (including Objective-C). You're presuming that Apple wants to kill MonoTouch, which I don't think is a foregone conclusion. I personally think that this is all about Flash and MonoTouch has very little to do with it from Apple's standpoint.
- mrkurt 17y agoApple's agreement explicitly bans apps that were built with MonoTouch (or Titanium, or whatever). It really doesn't matter what Apple's intentions are, what matters is that they're willing to fuck over a whole bunch of existing developers for whatever reason. You'd have to be extremely foolish to start an app with one of these toolkits. The onus is on the developers to comply with the SDK agreement, unfortunately.
- wvenable 17y agoThat might be true, but is it worth the risk?
- j_baker 17y agoIf you've already got a MonoTouch app as SamAtt claims, then the risk is already taken.
- cabalamat 17y ago> If you're using MonoTouch you should panic. I would go further than that, and say if you're developing for the iPhone or iPad, you should panic, since you have no way of knowing what shit Apple will throw at you next week, next month or next year.
