http://anscamobile.com/faq/ “Can I distribute my app on the iPhone App Store? Just purchase a one year subscription to the Corona Developer Program and you’ll be able to submit your very own app to the iPhone App Store. In fact, Corona developers are already distributing apps on the App Store. Check out some of the apps created by our customers at our Customers Page.” Many of you know my longtime business partner, Chris. He’s the original C coder of revBrowser and revSQLite and dabbles in Rev, but spends most of his time in the bowels of lower level languages and server api’s. He’s also spent time using Objective-C and Xcode– even building iPhone apps. Frankly, it’s hard to impress him– and I’ve worked with him since the mid 90′s. I asked him to take a look at revMobile and imagine my surprise when he came back seriously enthused about the app. I don’t remember his exact words, but he did mention he thought it had more potential than even Rev, and he had never seen something so easy to use to create iPhone apps. He was seriously pumped about the potential and future of the platform. And that was why I was so very sad, and MAD at Apple for what is now clearly no more than a change in licensing to only keep Flash off of iOS. Sadly, our dear revMobile was a casualty in what we all know was nothing more than a childish competition to see who’s was bigger. Certainly RunRev, nor Kevin were at fault. And the Apple apologists, like Daring Fireball’s John Gruber, with his carefully crafted messages citing the protection of the platform’s integrity, first to market advantage, and lack of proper API support, are all silent– and missing. I’m sure they’re onto the next agenda item for Steve as he’s inviting them to top secret secret tours of the acoustic testing chambers in Cupertino, all the time his hand further up their posterior making their mouths move and fingers type. Bravo. Bitter? Yeah. A little. Still, is it really too late for revMobile? I spent a good part of last week reviewing the options out there and couldn’t find anything which works with the feature set I want, which includes a WYSIWYG IDE and editor, and is relatively simple to learn. Nope, doesn’t exist for the iPhone– not at least as far as I can tell. So, if all these other apps get a free pass on the license issue, then why shouldn’t RunRev try again? And not in 3 months, but now. I’ll gladly build an app for a client client of mine and submit it and see what happens. But, we need the tools. So, to CEO Kecin Miller, and others… What do you think?
