Steve Jobs Responds to Developer About New SDK Regulations via Email
Imagine a world where Steve Jobs sits in front of his Mac replying to emails all day. Sounds crazy right? Considering the amount of email replies Jobs has sent out lately, it might be a reality. The latest correspondence from the King of all things Apple revolves around Section 3.3.1 of the iPhone developer agreement. You may know it as the "We don't want apps in the app store made with Flash and other third-party companies" clause. Gruber wrote a nice little article about the rule change. Tao Effect's Greg Slepak isn't a fan of the new rules and wrote Jobs directly expressing his disappointment. Steve wrote back, Greg wrote back to Steve, and in the end it came down to this final email from Steve:"We’ve been there before, and intermediate layers between the platform and the developer ultimately produces sub-standard apps and hinders the progress of the platform."So there you go.
