And there is another point, not for "us" as developers using Valentina, but for Paradigma …

Right now I can't imagine an / many app(s) sold through the MAS "using" Valentina other than as a single user / embedded DB. So there are no advantages in using Valentina in sense of scaling the app to big multi-user-environments or to use Valentina with many other platforms, but the only one, the "comfort" of a developer using his commonly(?) used DB.

So right now a developer can choose

* don't sell apps in the MAS … this is IMHO for boxed software in Mac OS X like shooting in your knee, except you are Adobe or SAP 

* discuss with Ruslan, argue with Apple, test this, check that, … and have a vague option to have luck to submit


* leave your comfort zone and use CoreData … :-O    Btw. right now there is NO standalone version of V4CC for iOS, so if I think about a "cross platform" iOS / Mac OS X version of an app, then I need to use CoreData for 2 (iPhone, iPad) of 3 possible targets …. hmmmm


In this situation IMHO Valentina should be as attractive to developers targeting MAS as possible. But I must admit that many developers using other tools, mainly work on windows, … would have a different opinion on this and ask to put the necessary resources on something more important for them.
