That is what a pharo app is , its just a copy of the ide, the language and the tools together with some additional code.
You can hide the IDE from the user of course but it would be still there unless you remove it. If you plan to distribute the exposed IDE you need to check with Apple license terms because I think they still have restrictions on this. So your limitation is Apple and not Pharo ;) Of course if you want to use the IDE only for yourself you have no issues there and you dont need Apple's permission. Of course since people dont code Pharo on their ipads (I am not a fa of the idea myself I like my 27'' iMac too much :D) you most likely run into unresolved problems. So I would not recommend Pharo on iOS personally even though people have done this , but you can try it yourself and make your own mind ;) On Thu, Dec 11, 2014 at 6:06 AM, David Boeren <boer...@gmail.com> wrote: > Sorry, I may not have been clear with my iOS question.
