I do not know is this is a topic for monkey?
Monkey use own GC system, not Apple system.

And yes all apps that use Apple GC will be removed
(Ups, this is for OSX only)

Wow, they could be a little more specific as this applies only to ObjectiveC garbage collection.

In regards to monkey, this DOES affect the GLFW targets on OSX as they use standard autoreleasePool which from my understanding is not compatible with automatic Reference Counting (ARC) and hence deprecated and soon to be "outlawed".

Not all apps are going to be removed, just "new Mac apps and app updates" that will be rejected. The problem seems to be on glfw, and I coded something here, which needs testing since I have no clue what I'm doing ^_^
