Of course it is (since, as was mentioned on the mac-pascal list,
virtually every programmer has a personal library that wraps APIs to
some extent). However, given that they explicitly forbid languages
other than those listed, translated code and wrapper languages, I
think it's pretty clear that at least in spirit FPC is not allowed
anymore.
Anyone is of course free to keep using FPC for the iPhone (I'm not
going to remove any iPhone support from the compiler in the
foreseeable future) and to submit FPC-compiled apps to the AppStore.
Just don't be surprised if they get rejected or suddenly pulled later
on.
