I’m not an iOS developer, but the way Firefox and Chrome get around it is by using Safari internally. In addition, JITed code is not allowed, but interpreted is.
- applenerdfan 7y agoPlease read the rules above. It doesn't matter that Firefox and Chrome use Safari internally. The rules above say all code run in that internal Safari must be written by Apple licensed developers.
- Tomte 7y agoNo, they don't. They say "the software" must be from licensed developers. Not the code itself. All those numbered sentences have "the software" as the subject.
- st3fan 7y agoNot Safari but WKWebView. Big difference.
- applenerdfan 7y agoSorry but the rule makes it clear. WKWebView has the same restrictions. No random webpages allowed. Only content from Apple licensed developers.
- floatingatoll 7y agoIf you already have a set view of how this will go in your mind, then why are you here starting an argument about it disguised as an Ask HN? Go write a blog post exposing the flaw in their rules, by your interpretation, and post that to HN so that we can see your argument clearly presented and consider its merits.
