You can't release Firefox for an iDevice either as Apple does not allow native code that you need for Gecko so they are about equal in ability to run system apps front.
Chromebooks also run Android apps so in the near future there will be a lot more flexibility in what kinds of either web apps or Android apps you can develop. Firefox already runs on Android and presumably will be available for Chrome OS within this year.
- Tloewald 12y agoSure Apple allows native code. Apple doesn't allow third-party interpreters/compilers if they can run code from untrusted sources (Codea and some Python environments get around it by only running locally written code).
- amyjess 12y agoApple allows native code. What they don't allow is the use of any other rendering engine besides WebKit.
- tkubacki 12y agoand that's fucking stupid - because web browsers can't compete on iOS
