But why does that have to be how it is? Why shouldnt I be able to compile c++ programs, go programs, etc? needing an ipa is an arbitrary restriction dev wise

Also you can run js, node, etc just fine right now on an iPad (but not node and that sucks)



My issue is you’re asking for Pepsi before Coke has been invented, if that’s an effective metaphor?

It’s like, slow down, let’s get Apple’s own native solution in there before we get a third party one?

If not only to make sure it’s done right?

Currently the App Store’s restriction that it can’t run arbitrary code is the best one.


I disagree and would love to run arbitrary code on a device I own.
