iPhone c++ development / compiler on a non-Mac PC? (Windows? Linux?)
- by Ehrann Mehdan
According to the (in)famous iPhone Developer Program License Agreement change
3.3.1 — Applications may only use Documented APIs in the manner
prescribed by Apple and must not use
or call any private APIs. Applications
must be originally written in
Objective-C, C, C++, or JavaScript as executed by the iPhone OS WebKit
engine, and only code written in C,
C++, and Objective-C may compile and
directly link against the Documented
APIs (e.g., Applications that link to
Documented APIs through an
intermediary translation or
compatibility layer or tool are
prohibited).
So it is allowed to develop iPhone apps using C++
My questions
Is there a compiler / IDE for developing iPhone apps using C++?
Is that compiler / IDE available on non Mac environments? (Windows? Linux?)
If not, why? I mean an eclipse C++ plugin for iPhone development will be quite popular, or is there already any serious attempt to do that?
