There may very well be other iOS App Store policies that could prove to
be a problem. E.g. I know that Tcl/Tk does need to use several "private"
OS X APIs when using the Cocoa API. The way you can work around it for
the OS X App Store is to link against the Tcl framework already included
in OS X. That way you are not making these private calls directly. But
that doesn't work on the iPad because Apple doesn't ship the Tcl
framework with iOS.

The need for these private APIs may not exist in wxWidgets, I have no
idea.  They were needed for Tk because widgets can morph at runtime
in ways that Apple doesn't support publicly.

And of course there are countless other policies that you all have
to adhere to if you want to publish you app on Apple's store.

Cheers,
