O$10: what is the rationale to skip O$9 ?

[Bastiaan Olij]

Hey Geir,

Don't think this has applied for a long time Geir, there are so many runtime based solutions on iOS now it's not funny. Heck, one can argue that the current javascript based solution is a runtime solution :P
But there are also solutions out there running Lua or Python, so I don't see why it can't be Omnis.


Flash got killed because Apple hated flash for all the right reasons as it was leaky as ...., not because it had a runtime language.  They may have used that as an excuse at the time but don't think that applies any more.




Kindest Regards,

I have not followed the Apple rule changes over the last years, but was it not originally so that they did not permit 3rd party runtimes running on iOS? Arguably to kill Flash and force Adobes hand, but still. So has that changed? Would an Omnis runtime now be acceptable to Apple?
