There are 2 distinct and separate anti-Adobe issues from Apple. One is the anti-flash stance, which we have been focusing on in this thread - but a separate and important second issue is Apple disallowing *NATIVE* IPHONE BINARIES that are created using CS5: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/logged_in/abansod_iphone.html. So just to be 1000% clear, you write code in AS3, then the compiler outputs a pure iphone binary - there is no Flash, no runtime, no swf - nothing.
So my question is, how would Apple even know what tools I used to create an app? What if I made my own code generator in objective C, is that allowed? Are they also going to say I'm not allowed to use notepad to write my code?
