"By now, most of you have probably seen or heard about Apple iPhone SDK 4.0 and a little hidden gem in their freshly minted 4.0 Terms of Services, notably 3.3.1:
“Applications that link to Documented APIs through an intermediary translation or compatibility layer or tool are prohibited.”
It’s clear that products like Titanium, Unity3D, Ansca, MonoTouch and others are now a bit in question for iPhone 4.0+ with this language. We’re all trying to get our heads around what this means and trying to reach out to Apple to get clarification.
Hang tight, we’ll try and give you more information as we can figure it out from Apple. We don’t want to make any false promises or claims – and most importantly, we want to make sure we’re abiding by Apple’s rules."

Ansca think their Corona is fine, but no formal announcement yet. This might have been posted before the SDK news hit though. http://twitter.com/ansca/status/11838677252
I also wrote a blog entry listing some more of the SDKs/apps affected, http://gen89.net/2010/04/09/collateral-damage-the-iphone-os-... (THQ's Star Wars Trench Run is Unity based! They're going to annoy a lot of big developers with this news.)
