Can you explain to a noob how you wrote the Native module around TensorFlow? My main area of focus is in python, but I feel hindered when I think I'm ready to start developing for mobile apps. I'm looking into RN, but still not sure how that plays with TF and other python modules.

It was honestly just maybe 10 lines of code, but I was very confused about it before I got it done. The message passing is a bit counterintuitive at first. I'll try to share example code in my blogpost!

awesome, what's your blog?

Ha didn't expect this to end up here. If anyone is interested, I'm working on a blogpost explaining how we built the app in detail… It uses embedded TensorFlow on device (better availability, better speed, better privacy, $0 cost), with a custom neural net inspired by last month's MobileNets paper, built & trained with Keras. It was loads of fun to build :)

Is there a reason you didn't release on Android? The app was even demoed on a Pixel.

I have an Android version being released as we speak.

It's actually written in React Native with a fair bit of C++ (TensorFlow), and some Objective-C++ to glue the two. One cool thing we added on top of React Native was a hack to let us inject new versions of our deep learning model on the fly without going through an App Store review. If you thought injecting JavaScript to change the behavior of your app was cool, you need to try injecting neural nets, it's quite a fee…

I really have no idea what any of that means, no Android then?

Hey guys, how would I be able to add characters to an account for injustice and then disable the anti-cheat. I want to basically make it so that i cant get banned for using characters I added to my account.

Can you please enlighten us as to what kind of legal restrictions apply here? It is always interesting to see how these «little» legal details get in the way of running software. Congrats for getting the app out!

Could it be that the app is using HTTPS? iTunesConnect has all these crazy questions with very little guidance about encryption and export compliance if you say you do use HTTPS.

Guys, we have HTTPS in the rest of the world now!

But seriously, the iTunes connect question specifically excludes stuff like HTTPS using the regular libraries, which is just as well as otherwise pretty much every app would be affected. Legal issue is probably boring IP rights stuff.

It's not that easy. Even the first question in iTunesConnect explicitly states you must answer "yes" even if you just make use of the built-in HTTPS libraries in the OS. If you start digging into the various guidelines you open a can of worms of recursive cross-references between documents and sections. Nowhere have I seen a statement that says "if you just use os HTTPS, you don't have to do anything". At the very least you may have to consider if you have to submit various annual self-classification reports.

For an app like this I could easily see a serious company deciding to skip the hassle and CYA, instead of potentially taking on a huge legal risk. Would you, as a regular worker-bee developer, be OK with personally signing off and accepting a legal risk on behalf of a large company without involving expensive lawyers to evaluate the validity of your opinion on this legalese? Would that be a responsible action to take?
