Guys, we have been waiting for this news for a long time. Waiting for 5 months in fact. Some of you may know that there is a little game part of XMLVM: Xokoban, an Android implementation of the old Sokoban game. You can find its source code in xmlvm/demo/android/xokoban. This application is developed in Java only making use of Android's API. Using XMLVM we cross-compiled Xokoban to the iPhone. We have been quite provocative with this application. The splash screen of Xokoban explicitly mentions that this application is cross-compiled from a different smartphone platform. That was probably the reason it took Apple 5 months to review it. As of today, Xokoban is in the AppStore! We have also published Xokoban on the Android Market. So, you iPhone and Android users, look for "Xokoban" on your respective app markets. Xokoban is only a simple game; we are not game developers but tool developers. The important thing is that Apple is not blocking XMLVM as a technology. Considering Apple's behavior in the past this should be good news to everyone who considers using XMLVM. We at XMLVM are quite happy about this news. The XMLVM team. |

Clever move to state that it was crosscompiled. Hope this means you have paved the way for others that use the xmlvm for iPhone development. /Björn Arno Puder skrev: > Guys, > > we have been waiting for this news for a long time.

Cool. This is an important step to accept XMLVM as technology for cross platform development.

Indeed, we're very excited about this. XMLVM developers should now have the security of knowing that XMLVM apps will be accepted in the AppStore.

I might as well share a funny story that I didn't mention in my previous message. If you dig deep enough in the XMLVM code repository, you will notice that Xokoban has slightly changed over the last few months. Originally, Xokoban's splash screen read "Written for Android and cross-compiled to the iPhone". The little guy you have to move through each game level of Xokoban used to be the official Android logo (Android pushing Apples, get it?). Three months into the reviewing of Xokoban, an Apple employee from the AppStore review team actually called me (yes, I talked to someone from Cupertino!). He basically told me "Thou shall not have Gods beside me" (well, he phrased it a little differently) and we removed all references to Android from Xokoban. The splash screen now reads "Smartphone cross-compilation framework; write once, run anywhere". Two months of more reviewing and Apple approved Xokoban. Well, the story is funny, but it was always important to us that Apple knows what we do. There is no point in disguising what we do. But again, the good news is that Apple does not seem to object to XMLVM.
