Apple Shocks The World, Announces Big, Helpful Policy Changes for App Store
September 9, 2010
Apple has revised some of the most controversial provisions of the App Store developer agreement — including section 3.3.1, which banned apps created using third-party tools like Flash. Executing JavaScript, Python, or other code on the device still is not allowed. But so long as all apps submitted are native iOS code that meets Apple’s review guidelines, they’ll be cleared for sale.
Also, after two frustrating years, Apple is going to release the App Store Guidelines for people to read. Hopefully, this means no more spending time and money developing an app that will never ship.
