If Apple wanted to, they could let the content blockers work for native apps as well. All in-app ads that I have seen are loaded over the same HTTP mechanisms.

- zimpenfish 11y agoI'd be amazed if the SDK's UIWebView (whatever it's called these days) didn't have access to this in some future release. I doubt they'd apply it to generic HTTP calls on apps though - it would ruin the ad-supported app ecosystem and Apple aren't that daft.
