Revised App Store Guidelines

9th September 2010

Apple has revised the rules by which submitted apps much abide:

In particular, we are relaxing all restrictions on the development tools used to create iOS apps, as long as the resulting apps do not download any code. This should give developers the flexibility they want, while preserving the security we need.

The changes affect the notorious section 3.3.1, along with sections 3.3.2 and 3.3.9. This isn't actually a huge shift — it mainly restores the status quo pre-Flash CS5 — but it does make things a little easier for developers using frameworks like Unity.
