Check out Jerry's new videos -- REV to ObjC -> iPhone

[Andre Garzia]

Randall,

What you fail to see again despite our insistence to tell you is that such
tool to generate C code from Rev Stacks is precisely what is now forbidden
by the new agreement. I am beginning to think that you can actually speak
English or that my English is surprisingly awful because I've told you maybe
SEVEN TIMES THIS WEEK ALONE that the new agreement prohibits generating C
code from anything. The clause says "originally written in Objective-C" and
not "Cross compiled into Objective-C".

The source of all this mayhem is the exact fact that we're legally bound to
an agreement that prevents using any kind of generator program. Generators
are not Apple Compliant no matter how many emails you send to this list,
they will still be illegal. No matter how many times we tell you that you
can't and you tell use that YES RANDALL CAN or that you know better, you
still can't. There's an agreement, a contract and developer sign that thing.
You can't go against an agreement not matter how much you dislike it.

As I've told you BEFORE IN ALL MY PREVIOUS FOUR EMAILS TO YOU (which I don't
think you read anyway, because you keep repeating) it is not a technical
problem, it is a legal problem. Right now, unless Apple calls Kevin and the
dialog goes like:

Steve: "Yo, Sup?"
Kevin: "Sup, Steve, whats up?"
Steve: "I've seen RevMobile, launched it and BOOM in 10 minutes I got a
running iPad thingy. Which was wonderful. It really empowered me, since I
can't code in Objective-C either"
Kevin: "Oh, that's good to know. By the way Steve, thanks for this wonderful
oportunity to make your life easier. Is RevMobile allowed then?"
Steve: "Yes it is, oh, and one more thing, I think we should bundle RevMedia
with all new macs"
Kevin: "Thats bloody good, mate!"

Unless the piece above happens, then, we CAN'T GENERATE ANYTHING and be
approved for the app store. I hope we're clear.

Now, since I am a nice chap and I don't believe you read my emails at all, I
am going to repeat myself in some other languages, maybe, one of those will
ring a bell and unlock your memory and you'll recall some days ago when I
said the precise same thing:

English: YOU CAN'T USE GENERATORS
Portuguese: VOCÊ NÃO PODE USAR GERADORES
Portunhol: USTED NON PUEDES UTILIZAR GERADORES

Thanks, I hope we're now over this subject.
