Apple Lightens Up On App Development




Recently this week, Apple has announced that they will be letting iOS developers be able to use third-party tools such as Adobe tools. Before this announcement though, Apple was soon to have bans on tools like Ad Mob, and now, they’re letting developers use third-party developer tools which makes everyone extremely happy about this announcement. Many developers before were not quite happy about apple banning Adobe developer tools. But now, developers are in quite excitement to get ready again, and build up more iOS apps and post them on the apple store. Apple had said this in the hope of gaining more iOS development “We hope it will make us more transparent and help our developers create even more successful apps for the App Store”. Overall, my thoughts on this from a customer/business point of view, I think this is a great step for Apple. By them releasing bans against other developer software opens up a lot of opportunities for developers and customers as well. In time, I believe that the amount of current apps on the IPod app Store will double. Also, better and more sufficient software updates will be released for Apples: IPad, IPhone, and newest IPod touch. As of right now the software is only iOS 4.1 which I find to be amazing. Just by finding out that apple will let developers be able to use Ad Mob or other adobe developing software will bring a lot more options and excitement to the app store which means more developers and a lot more customers as well. I give apple thumbs up for this decision.
