What are the chances Apple will pull your app if you start accessing these web services from an Android app?

Yesterday I'd have said 110%, but I dunno... I'm getting this dreamy feeling that something wonderfully developer-friendly might be going on here. Not to mention owning that infrastructure that let folks also -run- back Android apps seems like it'd have value in itself, beyond just the dev PR.

From the flash message on: https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/documenta...

"Apple is supplying this information to help you plan for the adoption of the technologies and programming interfaces described herein for use on Apple-branded products. "

'for use on Apple-branded products.'

I think think they will do anything to prevent that. I mean, it's made for the web, so it's technically made for every device from every provider.

0% It would kill any chance of adoption in favor of parse or firebase.
