I'm wondering how Swift plays into this? Was this time chosen to release Swift to assure IBM's success in meeting these standards? Really makes you wonder about the timing of everything.

  You can produce shitty UX in any language. Also, IBM isn't exactly starting from scratch here; they've been developing iOS apps and frameworks for several years.

He got that completely wrong. Enterprise apps won't go thru the regular Apple AppStore. They will be provisioned directly onto iOS devices via https://developer.apple.com/programs/ios/enterprise/ https://developer.apple.com/programs/ios/enterprise/ It's conceivable that, as part of the deal, Apple allows IBM to build their own 'IBM iOS Appstore' to provision these apps to all iOS devices sold by IBM via special provisioning certificates.

  Then what standards these apps will be held to is in question.
