And then people wonder why I wish Apple would just go out of business:

Long story short, you cannot use any foreign APIs for the iPhone. None, period. You have to use their proprietary shit, errr, library.

This is bad for absolutely everyone, consumers, developers, and anything in between, except for Apple. As some blogger put it best somewhere on the web. Aple is acting like that little bitch kid who owns the ball, and when he notices he is losing he starts crying about it and takes his ball and goes home. Apple had a closed platform before with their PCs, and we all saw how that went. I can only hope that Google will annihilate them the way Microsoft crushed them back in the 80s. Oh the joy that it would bring me.

Now that's good for Apple to teach brand loyalty.

It is bad for absolutely everyone and everything other than Apple. At least Adobe are being the bigger company and deciding not to punish Palle users by axing all forms of Mac support.

Lol you're saying Apple are acting like children but you spell "like" wrong in the thread title. If you're going to insult someone don't make mistakes of you're own.

On topic: I already hate Apple so you're preaching to the choir on this one. No way I'm dropping $500 on an enlarged iTouch (aka iPad) or buying an iPhone.

Well its apples product. Doing things in there best interest is the point. And being the bigger company? Adobe would be foolish to not support the mac platoform considering the large number of design professionals and artists that buy macs. Companies can compete and annoy each other in one sector and be in bed with each other in another.

Its like why Sony sells microsoft computers and Sony allows Microsoft to use BR on the windows platform etc. Business isn't one giant fanboy cock blocking contest.

Thats the dumbest thing I have heard.....how does a simple spelling mistake correlate with one's maturity level?...Ill tell you....they dont

This is a console forum, the console manufacturers do stuff like this all the time but its only a problem when Apple does it huh?

I agree with this IF what they are saying, is Adobe is not allowed to deliver a runtime framework, that Flash content runs under.

If All Adobe is doing, is allowing you to write code in Flash, and then once run though it's tools, it spits out Objective C that you then compile in X-Code, Apple will get sued over this, and lose.

It is of no consequence to Apple how my Objective C code got written. They have no right to tell a developer how to generate the collection of letter, numbers, and symbols, that make up my Objective C source file.

If that's what they are trying to do, they are going to far.

I hate apple,but I'm not going to make a big deal out of it.

I mean this line just does not make sense:

"Applications must be originally written in Objective-C, C, C++, or JavaScript."

If I write a program in Objective-C, and I get a compile time error, then technically, it was not "originally written in Objective-C", or it would have compiled. I apparently wrote it in a language that does not comply with any standard. I must now throw all the code away, and start over.

I mean it's crazy. If I have source code in Objective-C, I have source code in Objective-C. Why on earth would anyone care how it got there (aside form copy write laws of course)?
