Not so fast- apple requires all ios applications to be touch-first, pencil second, mouse/keyboard a distant third. Now you’ve done all the work to remove python, and spent a ton of time rewriting the interface to completely bypass Python. It’s a bummer, but we all have to make some sacrifices, lets remove Python, and the people who use addons (spoiler alert: all of them, remember- exporters are addons too!) can just deal with it. EZPZ right? Wrong! Nearly all aspects of the interface rely on Python, and that’s ignoring the myriad of addons that people rely on every day for their work.
Turns out letting users run python could create a backdoor to the ipad’s bootloader? no idea what that means but it sounds bad right!? Ah bummer, your contact says that Apple will NEVER allow it on the app store with a python interpreter, nevermind the GPL license. It’s everything you dreamed it would be- and it runs so fast! You email your contact at apple and let them know the good news. Let’s pretend that you were a supercoder with infinite amounts of free time and decided to take on this task all by yourself as a gift to the world- so generous! After a month of heavy surgery you’ve got it compiling on iPad. Let’s all just dive into this fantasy world where it’s possible for a moment, shall we? C’mon it’ll be fun, humor me. If you don’t understand the fundamental differences between a mac and an ipad as a business platform, regardless of what chips they happen to have (they could be carbon copies of each other, it does not matter!), this conversation is already beyond your comprehension.
Look, I’m all for wishful thinking and I’m right there with you- Blender on an ipad would be totally amazing! But if you guys are just going to ignore reality when the facts are staring you in the face, you’re just wasting everyone’s time (yours included).
I’d love to be able to install Android on my iPad too, but it’s not going to happen.
