I seem to remember other programming languages (and programs that run code not included with the application) being banned on the app store. Did something change? Or are you compiling down to JavaScript to get around the limits?
- Xuzz 16y agoThey changed the rules when they published the App Store guidelines PDF.
- wahnfrieden 16y agoThey dropped those rules. I hope Scratch gets released now because of it.
- tzs 16y agoThey dropped the rule against using interpreters, and the rule against having your original code be in other than C, Objective-C, C++, or Javascript. However, I don't think they dropped the rule against being able to download code. If this thing lets you load files from the net that are interpreted as Scheme programs, it could be in violation of that rule.
- wahnfrieden 16y agoAh, thanks for the clarification - that's too bad.
- berntb 16y agoBut you still can install code as packages/files?! That would be all you need for e.g. Emacs. Edit: I checked, the rule is a bit unclear but the discussion seemed to be just about downloaded content. Emacs is possible. For a phone, which should be able to handle visa card info etc, I guess this is reasonable.
