hi, tnx for your answer, but not what I meant. Objective c and swift are languages that get compiled in the sdk released by apple; I am not asking which language to use, as I have stated that I plan to use c++. The question was, which tool can I use to compile c++ code into an ios binary. Anyway, for the immediate plans, it seems I found a workaround for the problem in flash (basically, avoid garbage collection), but for a medium term, I plan to make my own c++ libraries that allow me to compile c++ code in many platforms
