Probably wouldn't be allowed because of the app store rule against apps with embedded languages.
- fragmede 4y agoThat rule was softened, so there are a bunch of apps like Pyto, Pythonista, Python2IDE, Swift Playgrounds (doesn't quite count since it's by Apple) that let you run code on the device.
- smoldesu 4y agoI get what you're saying, but if your most advanced development examples are a Python interpreter and Swift tutorial then that's a sign that something else is holding them back.
- fragmede 4y agoVim is on the app store, so I'm not sure what's holding Emacs back https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vim/id492668168 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vim/id492668168
- twobitshifter 4y agoTo add to that there’s also scriptable for JS
- guestbest 4y agoEmacs really isn’t allowed for the same reason TeX isn’t, everything needs to run from one binary. The single binary requirement of the App Store is surprisingly limiting.
- b3morales 4y agoNot sure what you're referring to. It's absolutely standard for iOS apps to load dynamic libraries that are bundled along with them. Additionally, Emacs itself doesn't consist of more than one executable.
