Its not clear who it will effect at this point. Apple is doing a lot of bad stuff of late. Getting to big and fat.
-
It’s not really a case of Apple being big and fat – they have a current feud with Adobe which has been a long time in coming and reflects the lack of feature parity across their ranges on the Mac. I have little sympathy to be honest.
Pers. corr. with some folk in Cupertino pointed at CS5 being a no-no but others like Unity *may* be OK because the final compilation is handled within XCode.
-
No big deal, it sucks anyway – The Build for iPhone feature in CS5 produces slow code.
Sooner Flash dies the better. Unless they make it an open standard like PDF Flash has no business becoming a ubiquitous part of the web.
-
I find it far more worrying that Apple is trying to dictate what developers can and can’t use. If someone wants to use flash to compile to iPhone what do they care? They own the development process now as well as the phone that the consumer paid for?

I’d point out that Apple are not the only company guilty of this on proprietary platforms.
They own the platform, they have every right to tell developers what is and isn’t allowed – whether you agree with their business practice or not is another matter.
