What they don't want is to give users the ability to bypass the Apple app store. In fact, if the VM and interpreted code are bundled together, how would Apple even know that was happening? You don't give them your source code. At the LA Ruby conference there was a talk about a Ruby environment that allows a developer to target a bunch of mobile platforms, including the iPhone. This environment is already available and they listed several iPhone apps that were already in the app store. <http://www.rhomobile.com/products/rhodes> Here's what the Rhodes FAQ says about this: > The iPhone development terms do not disallow interpreted languages. > They disallow interpreting code that has been downloaded independent > of both Apple's official distributions channels (i.e. not contained > in the app bundle) and Apple's own code. BTW - I have no connection with Rhodes and haven't tried it myself, just saw the talk.
