Apple never allowed java/flash because they were part of making HTML5.
If you want more info, I can explain further.
If you want an app - Apple removed it. Scratch put up a mobile scratch application, but it got removed for some reason.

Apple doesn't like people being able to program. Possibly might be a bug in all Apple products that coding apps may hack into the actual device and cause damage.

Wait, what if you could download it, but it would void your warranty. Granted, that would stink, but then they don't have to deal with people coming to the genius bar saying, “My ipad is broken!” And then they have to run through the code. Because thats what it sounds like they're worried about.

1. photon for ios is better than puffin
2. untill someone picks up the gloves with apple there can not be an app. apple does not allow apps that share code

that's annoying

Agreed.

Time to get us to make apple ‘for this project only’ allow us to share code!

Maybe sneak it into a game…Click the Apple 3 times. You win! Now here is code for the Scratch App.

But you can get into serious trouble for doing that. You could get your developers liscence stripped.

Also, when you make a game for the ios app store you have to get it checked for content, like no filming the screen etc.

Somebody would have thought of that if it had been that simple. It isn't worth risking the consequences.

Darn.

Sorry for crushing your hopes

I shall crush yours now and not let you think!

… (I'm still thinking) …

I think apple should think about the kids that could benefit from this. They could recruit programmers from the website. It would help the kids and them.

I don't think Apple really cares.

At this point, due to the Flash dependency, the best Scratch can do on iOS is a web-based JavaScript player for Scratch projects. Since Apple does not allow native apps that load other apps/games (e.g. emulators, virtual machines, etc.), it would have to implemented via the web browser for Apple devices. Android does not have this limitation; so a Scratch player running on Android tablets in the future is feasible. However, rebuilding the player for Android is quite a bit of work and unlikely to be developed by the ST anytime in the near future.

I have a great book that explains this, and I don't think apple will allow scratch on mobile devices - both application wise and Internet.

(Safari) does not allow flash anymore:


Of course you could download a flash allowing browser on your smartphone

And! As people are saying, apple does not favor coding applications (like JavaScript) as it can mess up apple devices.

Although I have seen c++ coding applications because those applications have been checked over for glitches…

But scratch has previously posted a scratch application and it got removed, so mobile scratch might be very hard to make.

My browser is Safari,and Flash Player works perfectly on it.

Can we ever expect a Scratch app for iOS someday? If I do remember correctly, a long while back something was said about Scratch being for mobile devices… Can anyone confirm this?

Check the scratch Suggestions site (not the forum) and search for it, they have info there or look on the scratch blog, both are linked from the main scratch site.

Nothing was confirmed about mobile devices in the suggestions website, but I did find that a couple years ago it was discussed in Scratch forums here, and I found that someone used the LogMeIn app to use Scratch from their computer here. I'll have to see if you could do that with 2.0. Thanks for your help!
