Developers are free to care or not care about any platform they choose. I just want to make sure developers are aware of any problems they might face trying to port their apps to Apple platforms, should they wish to do so. A year ago I was interested in maybe using nodejs to develop a game that I wanted to publish for iOS and OS X, and I investigated NodObjC, whose homepage at the time promised (and still does) to let you write iOS and OS X GUI apps in JavaScript, without mentioning that any such apps could not be published to the app stores; without that ability, it's useless, and I didn't want any developers to waste their time investigating this possibility as I did. > Also, you CAN use dynamic compilation on iOS.

The previous discussion on this list was 13 months ago, at which time iOS 5 was current: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/nodejs/7c_0hkdoEGY/NU9dikAuBhwJ The statement from Jorge was: "iOS wont't let user code jump into a block of writable (from your app's point of view) memory -for security reasons- and it seems that v8's JIT compiler requires that: http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=1312"; There has been some action on that v8 issue lately, but still no evidence of any v8-using app actually getting approved on the app stores. -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
