iPhone 4.0 SDK rules

Yesterday Apple released the iPhone 4.0 SDK into beta. This release has stirred up quite a bit of controversy due to the terms of service contained there. We believe that we are in compliance with the new terms of service in the iPhone 4 SDK. Specifically with Rhodes apps developers must install the Apple iPhone SDK before using Rhodes to create their app. We generate Objective C and require that XCode be installed and executable on a Mac to perform the build. Apps cannot be submitted to the App Store without using XCode to do signing.
.
As we have in the past we will do everything that we can to comply with Apple’s rules. This is why we did not allow dynamic evaluation of code in our apps and why we never performed hosted build for iPhone’s online. Our engineering team will continue to do everything we can to insure that you can create iPhone apps that are compliant with all iPhone SDK and App Store rules.
