Well, obviously "we" (meaning both those who work on the code and whoever else who might want to distribute some app based on LibreOffice code through the iTunes App Store) need to make sure that the well-known rules are followed before even attempting to submit anything for review. Or do you see any general reason why Apple would reject an app that uses LibreOffice code even if it doesn't break any rules? After all, from the very start of the iOS porting effort it has been known that (App Store -distributed) apps can't use dynamic loading of own shared objects, that no dynamic code generation is allowed, that no interpretation of user-selected script or other code is allowed, etc. So UNO components need to be statically linked, there will be no Java, Python or Basic, and no extension mechanism. Technical challenges that need to be solved. Few of them are, yet. The iOS porting effort is not exactly receiving much effort at the moment, which is sad. > unless you are fine with not getting into the App Store and just running > on jailbreaked devices. ;-) At least personally I have no interest in the jailbreaking or "rooting" communities. > Another big technical problem is that on mobile devices apps can be > killed at anytime at the will of the operating system.

Nobody has claimed all this is an easy task. --tml _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
