Sounds pretty reasonable, but common, if they needed to prohibit cross-compilers, did they really needed to do that just RIGHT BEFORE CS5 was going to ship? Any developer putting that much resources into something would be pissed. Adobe didn't make it secret, that they were devoloping an iPhone compiler, so Apple could've just told them right away it's a no-go.
- demallien 16y agoAnd how do you know that Apple didn't tell Adobe well in advance? Adobe pushing to get onto the iPhone platform is every bit as much of a business decision as Apple trying to block them. Adobe may very well have been informed but decided that Jobs was just bluffing (not an unreasonable conclusion, there are very few CEOs with enough arrogance to do what Jobs has done on this particular issue).
- rimantas 16y agodid they really needed to do that just RIGHT BEFORE CS5 was going to ship I believe so. Otherwise they release iPhone OS 4, but customers get a flood of non-native, non-HIG aware apps coded by Flash developers and compiled for i* by the tool who knows nothing about new version of the OS. That cannot be the great user experience.
