Download and Run Stacks - Can Do On Mobile?

[Charles E Buchwald]

I seriously considered using stack files. It would make a lot of things easier than writing and reading XML in ZIP files. But I couldn't risk having to rewrite everything if the use of stack files was rejected by Apple.

Even with my system of transferring XML, these illegal workarounds would be possible. I could code functionality that does not show up in any way in the submission to Apple, and then trigger it with what's in the XML content later. I don't see how Apple can catch every possibility, even if they review the scripts. As my father says, "Locks are for honest people."
