OK, the developers were stupid and reckless to use an unauthorised compiler.

But... the code it produced still managed to get past App Store security checks. That's a big deal, and Apple will no doubt be smelling the coffee today. What goes into the App Store should be demonstrably kosher, and the use of a fake compiler should be detectable during app submission.
