 +===== Statements about iOS by Apple =====
 +
 +**H.G. Muller**
 +The mobile operation system iOS does not allow one process (the GUI) to invoke another (the engines). That would make it only feasible to have a Chess app if the GUI and engine are merged into a single program. But that is not compatible with a GUI being able to run multiple programs, which would be essential for doing tournaments. It in fact would make it impossible for a GUI to run any WinBoard or UCI engine, as such engines are by definition separate processes.
 +
 +**Julien Marcel**
 +Apple interdit l'utilisation de binaires externes à un programme pour les applications iOS.
 +
 +**Ted Wong**
 +Unlike the Android operating systems, iOS apps will never be able to offer anything like Droidfish or Chess For Android. The technical limitation has been imposed by Apple that it's impossible to spawn an engine thread dynamically. What this means is that it's not possible to start a chess engine in the traditional sense as you see on Android or PCs. A chess engine must be statically compiled with any iOS chess app. This limitation is one of the main selling points of the iOS operating systems - stronger security. Imagine if a chess app can spawn a chess engine, any other app can also download a virus can run it on the user's device.
