Interpreted code is to be used in a &quot;minor way&quot; for &quot;minor features&quot;. Thus, writing an entire iOS app in an interpreted language (such as Lua) does not seem likely to be allowed.&lt;p&gt;I&apos;m not a lawyer though.  Of course, Apple is fickle and contradicts itself often.  Indeed, I would not be surprised to find Titanium gets free reign and Corona does not, or vice versa.</text></comment>

I&apos;m surprised this change hasn&apos;t been covered at all by the tech press.&lt;p&gt;So does this 100% clear the way to use tools like Unity or Appcelerator? I&apos;m particularly interested in Appcelerator (starting a droid/iPhone app in a few weeks) and there isn&apos;t a clear statement on their website about this change.&lt;p&gt;Update:  I&apos;ve emailed appcelarator about this change and requested clarification; I&apos;ll update again when I hear back.&lt;p&gt;Update 2:  still no word from Appcelerator.  I&apos;ve spent some time digging through their forums and I think they just don&apos;t know what&apos;s going on either. It seems like they are just waiting to see what happens today when people start to submit iOS 4 Apps.  I guess we&apos;ll know the answer becaus of this either way, hopefully soon.</text></comment>
