Apple Changes the App Store License

Statement by Apple on App Store Review Guidelines

Apple relaxed the restrictions of section 3.3.1, 3.3.2 and 3.3.9 of the iOS Developer Program License Agreement.

3.3.1 Applications may only use Documented APIs in the manner prescribed by Apple and must not use or call any private APIs.

Now you can use whatever language you want, even ActionScript. Happy flash developers?

3.3.2 An Application may not download or install executable code. Interpreted code may only be used in an Application if all scripts, code and interpreters are packaged in the Application and not downloaded. The only exception to the foregoing is scripts and code downloaded and run by Apple's built-in WebKit framework.

Ok. Now we can use interpreted code (e.g. Lua and others.) The only restriction is that the code must be bundled with the application and not downloaded.

3.3.9 You and Your Applications may not collect user or device data without prior user consent, and then only to provide a service or function that is directly relevant to the use of the Application, or to serve advertising. You may not use analytics software in Your Application to collect and send device data to a third party.
