Apple Eases Restrictions On iPhone Developers

WrongSizeGlass writes "MacRumors has a story on a report by Apple Outsider's Matt Drance that Apple is easing their restrictions on interpreted code used in iPhone development, a change which allows game developers in particular to continue to use interpreted languages such as Lua in their App Store applications. The change comes alongside Apple's further modifications of its iOS developer terms that again allow for limited analytics data collection to aid advertisers and developers, but appear to shut out non-independent companies such as Google's AdMob from receiving the data. It's not enough of an 'about face' to let Adobe or Google back in the picture but they've backpedaled enough to let the little guys squeeze through."

Why the hell was I modded "troll"? Because I dared to mention an app I created to show that, you know, I actually have some relevant experience? Or because I criticized Android development? I've noticed lately that the Android fans are even more rabid than the iPhone ones.
