I had to do a double take when I saw you’d written ‘VSCode’.
Are you serious? We should be starting with XCode, I mean, given all the rules and restrictions on the platform, it’ll be shocking enough when Apple finally gets XCode into action.
As for VSCode, I’m not even sure what you’d be compiling onto the device, as Swift or Obj-C in XCode is the only way to end up with a .ipa you can run...
- rhodysurf 7y agoBut why does that have to be how it is? Why shouldnt I be able to compile c++ programs, go programs, etc? needing an ipa is an arbitrary restriction dev wise Also you can run js, node, etc just fine right now on an iPad (but not node and that sucks)
- lostgame 7y agoMy issue is you’re asking for Pepsi before Coke has been invented, if that’s an effective metaphor? It’s like, slow down, let’s get Apple’s own native solution in there before we get a third party one? If not only to make sure it’s done right? Currently the App Store’s restriction that it can’t run arbitrary code is the best one.
- rhodysurf 7y agoI disagree and would love to run arbitrary code on a device I own.
