It's hardly a fact. A few months ago it was a "fact" that you could publish using CS5. http://blogs.nitobi.com/jesse/2010/04/14/phonegap-and-the-apple-develope

Tomorrow it could also be a "fact" that PhoneGap violates the same 3.3.1 clause. Truth is, the "facts" are flexible for Apple, and not so for the developers who dedicate several hours learning a specific approach/workflow.

You can keep thinking like that. In Italy we say "di certo c'è solo la morte" (the only sure thing is death). When you base your business on somebody's platform you play with their rules and if they want to change them so be it. Apple doesn't force anybody to develop for iPhone, if you don't like it, plenty of other platforms. Apple, like every other company, is a business, and they make business decisions, the ones they think are better for their company and profits. Apple didn't force you to learn "a specific approach/workflow" using Titanium. Next time spend those hours learning the native tools they give you and you'll be fine.

  That's great rhetoric and philosophy, yet it's incredibly clear that the decision to eliminate other frameworks from compiling into iApps (the day of CS5 announcement, no less) is motivated by ignorance. Ignorance that costs developers unnecessarily. The argument that Flash kills the battery is without merit if Apple is pushing canvas+js, which uses as much if not more CPU (based on personal findings as well as written testimony from neutral developers; ie: not Apple PR nodes).

    #1. Apple. #2. Users. #3. Developers. You are last on Apple's list of priorities. If you are irritated by that, I empathize. Go write for a different device.
