Ask HN: Does Apple's new section 3.3.1 mean I cant use Boost?

3 pointsjason_slack5 comments

Slightly confused. I can still use a 3rd party library like Boost in my ipad apps, but the point of 3.3.1 is that I must use Objective-C, C++ or C or any combination of the 3 (essentially..)

True?

No you can use whatever library you wish. Boost is C++ so you are fine.

Also, the whole clause is there to prevent Flash from happening on the iPhone. There really is not that much to worry about.

So my app and the libraries that I use must all be C++ or C or Objective-C.

So this is why entities like Unity are crying fowl?

Or use the JavascriptCore engine that's exposed as part of Webkit.

That's how Titantium and Appcelerator are getting by.

(To answer your question: No, they must be a bunch of chickens. ;-)

Damn typo, ugh, slightly embarrassing!

Can't you just edit the post?

...Or maybe you can pretend it was some sort of clever play on words next time. :)
