I don't like the sound of it, and it seems a name for a lifestyle / sports app.

The project needs a new logo, and a new name.

But if Apple is ready to admit him back into the dev program, then the anti fraud team didn't do the right thing.
comment
Probably not. Dash is mostly a desktop app and he can keep on selling it outside the MAS.
comment
Really good point. Apple wants him to make a fake review.

The US law doesn't apply here... he is in Bulgaria I think? Edit: Romania.
comment
I agree. But then why force him to write a PR blog post in favor of Apple? That's what's really wrong here.
comment
Not at all. If Apple is ready to bring him back it's because he didn't commit fraud. And if he didn't commit fraud he shouldn't need to write a blog post as a condition to get back…

If Apple is open to admit the dev back to the program means he didn't really commit fraud. And if he didn't commit fraud, why is Apple enforcing him to write a PR blog post in favor of Apple…

We are super happy with Firebase. Even if you just use the static hosting you get CDN + HTTPS for free. And you can even use the free tier as long as you want which is awesome for low traffic.

Depends on the implementation. Sadly, thanks to Apple, in many cases we are still forced to use UIWebView since WkWebView is so broken for Cordova apps.

WKWebView is a mess. There are bugs that have been there since it was released years ago and are still unassigned. https://bugs.webkit.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=wkwebview&li... …

You can run C++ code in iOS, except if that code is functioning as a browser rendering DOM and running JS

You are missing the point. Of course Flash was/is terrible, and not only for mobile phones. But what keyle is pointing out is the irony of Apple arguing against Flash for being a proprietary and …
comment
Doh, that is precisely the whole problem being discussed here. WKWebView is a mess just like UIWebView.
comment
Amen.

The problem is not hardware speed, as you point out, but software. It would be lovely to see a real Chrome benchmark on iOS, but alas, Apple doesn't want that to happen.
comment
The simple truth is that 99% of the time when browsing is spent on that "rectangular area". Maybe the term "skin" is not adequate, but IMO the features added by Chrome and Firefox …

Web views are way behind Safari.

It took Serif 2 years to deliver a decent color picker tool. How long will it take to have a group isolation mode?

Why is that?

Same here. Super happy with an Nvidia Shield TV.
