Turn games into apps
This is rather a questions than a suggestion, should go to the questions forum.
The answer is:
No, mainly because the current implementation of Scratch is based on Flash which has been banned from iOS and Android systems.
There might be hope with the html5 player, which is currently in development.

Support for an official way to use Scratch on mobile. No support for making projects into apps because it would prevent remixing.

No support, not only because Scratch uses Flash but also because to put an app on the App Store, you need to do a lot of stuff like own a Mac and pay for the account, which is pretty expensive. Then, not much people will be able to do so, making it a waste of time to make possible, and the people who do make an account and stuff will probably flood the App Store with version after version of Pong or some other game. Not to mention that big projects are unbelievably laggy on Scratch and will probably crash a lot if they were apps.

No support as per the fact it is impossible.

you can embed the projects into other websites to share it to the world beyond scratch, but that's pretty much as far as it gets.

MIT makes a Scratch-like program for making android apps. Check it out at appinventor.mit.edu

Mobile stuff doesn't support Flash, Scratch uses Flash. Simple logic.No, how? No support as per the fact it is impossible.
It's not impossible.
Although, I have heard of this special browser that uses some strange technique to get Flash, but it is incredibly laggy. Plus you would need to buy a keyboard and stuff to be able to play anything with user input.

Mobile stuff does support flash, anything can support flash, it's just the browser running on iOS (only iOS), safari, doesn't have an ActionScript VM to run flash.Mobile stuff doesn't support Flash, Scratch uses Flash. Simple logic.No, how? No support as per the fact it is impossible.

It is possible, if not easy.
I mean, Scratch had an app before, but at the time Apple disallowed interpreters, so it was removed.
It would be easy to create an offline editor, especially for 1.4, as there is already a Squeak VM for iOS.
Just create an ActionScript VM, or another engine altogether, and we're good to go with 2.0 .

But still, as someone said above if you turn it into an app on the stores or something, you wouldn't be able to remix it. This along would make the ST not want to add this.

It's similar to Scratch, but you can create apps with it.

Semi-support.
Absolutely brilliant idea, id do anything for this to happen, but it comes with problems.
Due to the costs to actually upload an app to the App Store, people may not be able to. So for example, I spend weeks making a project, then someone comes along, remixes my project, then releases it on the App Store, that app explodes and goes viral, recieves tonnes of credit.. But where's my credit? I technically made the majority of this game. It would be so so annoying to see my project posted everywhere across social media knowing that someone else is recieving credit for it.

I would support this, but sadly, as people have said, it's impossible.

Not possible, but there is the MIT App Inventor that is kind of like Scratch, and you can program it the semi-same way.

It is possible. Package it with http://phosphorus.github.io and then make a new app in Xcode which contains a web view showing the webpage.
