I am not clear with some of the features listed. Notably 'Accepted on App Stores', 'Native Code Access' and 'Developer Collaboration'. Does the earliest imply that the developed apps are specifically accepted on the Apple App store or on the internal app store managed by enterprise? Don't have any clue about Native Code Access, I understand it is related to native apps? Developer Collaboration is a tricky one too. Is it allowed only by RhoMoble and Pyxis? Please, someone clarify it to me. Could also send a pm to my email miginis@homtail.com
Cheers
Marius
