In the end, we could still have U++/eOS, but as Ctrl::Run is not possible, U++ applications for eOS would have to be specifically altered (quite heavily) to conform with this. E.g. this would not be possible anymore:

if(PromptYesNo("Do you want to perform this operation?")) {
    // perform the operation
}

instead, you would need to write

void MyApp::PerformOperation() {
    // perform the operation
}

PromptYesNo("Do you want to perform this operation?", THISBACK(PerformOperation))

Thanks for reply.
I am not sure to have completely understood. But if the problem is only to rewrite the Prompt_like() function of the user application, I am ready for my own app. Perhaps most of us are ready too.
However I am not aware if the whole library needs to be rewritten to accomodate such changes or just a new general function Prompt_eOS() should be added to overcome the issue.

I see huge advantages (both economics (no needs to own Mac & iOS device) and time saved (no new programming language)) that widely compensate the troubbles to rewrite the code of existing apps. Of course for a new app the problem does not exists.
