With the talk about the game center, it would be awesome to see it implemented into the unity framework. This would be awesome, considering the loops you have to jump through to try and get other 3rd party solutions working properly with unity. I can imagine it now.
Code:
gameCenter.completeAcheivement(id)
lol

I have to say that folder thing is pretty clever...elegant, and it solves the problem in a way that doesn't make the OS inherently more complex to use. And yeah it'd be nice to see the game center stuff in Unity. Wink

"Applications that link to Documented APIs through an intermediary translation or compatibility layer or tool are prohibited."

Does that not basically... ban Unity apps?

(Although if you're a developer you can presumably see it in the SDK on the dev site, not that you should be posting that as your source.)

This concerns me. I use my iphone for development, but it is also my primary means of communication. Right now I'm leaning towards not downloading the OS beta.

I don't think so, I think it will be fine.

Flash though, I think that is what they are destroying. The way the flash games will compile is probably what they are talking about, in which case all those developers of adobe flash will probably commit suicide.

About the new rule...

I think it's targeting the Adobe Flash iPhone projects. If the projects are being developed on a PC, then there is some kind of translation going on for a PC project to work as an XCode project.

I think Apple is just shutting down Adobe again. It's not saying "all third party dev tools are banned."

@Tempest

Flash: but the new Flash tool converts to iPhone native code so why would it mean Flash?

If it's in native code how can they ban it?
