As mentioned in our previous post we believe that we are compliant with the new iPhone 4.0 SDK rules, and we believe Rhodes apps will continue to be to be accepted on the App Store after adoption of the new TOS.
But to make sure our loyal developers are 100% safe in using our framework, we will be announcing some new products soon that facilitate enterprise app distribution for iPhones and other devices, completely bypassing any App Store. These products will ensure that Rhodes remains the go to framework for cross-platform development on all major smartphones.
Finally we will be taking our RhoSync sync server and forthcoming server products and supporting client apps written in Objective C. Even prior to the latest iPhone 4.0 TOS controversy we had many Objective C developers asking to be able to use our sync server. We will be providing a C++ library usable from your Objective C apps to provide your users with the convenience of synchronized offline data. We will also be providing an Object Relational Manager that is usable from Objective C that allows you to work with data intensive apps without working with SQL
In summary your investment in learning the Rho toolset will be maintained regardless of future App Store testing procedures, especially if you are an enterprise app developer.

I wish to say that you guys are the best. a framework that enables the bypass of any app store is long overdue and will put you guys light years above the competition. i am definitely sticking with this framework, and will get my second app up and running real soon. the ORM tool will also be a serious plus.
Thumbs up to you
