The launch of the SDK for iPhone OS 4.0, there was a new condition in terms of use, which was quickly met with some criticism by developers worldwide, including Adobe's Lee Brimelow .

The reason is that Apple will no longer allow programs not written directly in C / C + + / Objective-C. This means that development platforms such as. Danish Unity3D and Flash are not allowed.

In a very brief response to the Director of the company Tao Effect, Greg Slepak, who have pointed to the many negative reactions from the development environment to Steve Jobs, Jobs similar to intermediate will lead to lesser apps.

"We've been there before, and intermediate layers between the platform and the developer ultimately produces sub-standard apps and hinder the progress of the platform."

Steve Jobs in response mail to Greg Slepak

Slepak do not agree with Jobs and points out that there certainly are a few applications developed on other development platforms that are below average, but there are many examples of good programs. He believes more that the cap will get more developers to focus on other platforms.

"Mandating that applications be "originally written" using Xcode and the C-based languages is just foolish as it does not magically create quality. What it does do, as I explained previously, is send developers running for the hills, or more specifically, two competing platforms where they have more creative freedom."

Well, I can see why Apple would do it, but I think the downsides outweigh the upsides. God damn it Apple :/
