> You wouldn't need apples seal of approval though, would you? Short answer: You still need to get apples seal of approval. You will still have to use the AppStore to get that app on the iPhone. The only other route is a web-app. You will still have to get Apples seal of approval to get on the AppStore. There is no alternative. You will still have to adhere to the HIG (and more) to get Apples seal of approval. So no generic cross-platform apps, your app will have to behave like a proper iOS app in every way. I think that in reality nothing has actually changed. The reason behind the original ban of 3d party cross-platform frameworks has not changed. It's just the way in which Apple defends against this risk that has changed.
