Scheme on the iPad

Post by hilti »

I'm wondering if this way a newLISP iPad App is possible? I always thought, that scripting languages and interpreter are not allowed in an app.

There are several scripting apps available for iOS - JsAnywhere, Pixie Scheme, cbmHandBasic and others - but none of them lets you access the web or build UIs which run on the iOS device itself or access resources on the iOS device via your scripting language. These things are prohibited by the developer guidelines.

I also found, that the best way to develop newLISP code on the iPad is to login into an external server using an app like iSSH or Prompt as an SSH terminal. This way I can use the editor, I am accustomed too, and have no limitations on what to do.
