It might be possible to compile nodejs for iOS for use on a jailbroken device, but before you spend a lot of time on that, understand that because nodejs uses v8, and because of certain memory management techniques that v8 uses which Apple prohibits because it considers it insecure, no app that uses v8 or nodejs would ever be approved by Apple to be offered on the app stores. (That's why Chrome for iOS uses Apple's JavaScript implementation, not v8.) So you could use this for your own fun or for in-house apps, but not for apps you want to distribute to the general public. This goes for the Mac app store as well. I brought up a previous discussion about this a year or two ago. -- -- 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.
