Can I sell an i Phone app on Tier 2 General?

[rdingwall]

I'm on a Tier 2 General visa as a software developer. I was wondering, if I've built an i Phone app during my spare time (evenings and weekends outside my official 40 work hours), can I post it up for sale online?

Total sales would probably be very modest, maybe a few hundred pounds per year. I would be selling it as an individual, just via Paypal or Google merchant account, not a registered company or through my sponsor or anything.

I think this would be permitted under the 'supplementary employment' rule (max 20 hours, same industry, same level, less than 20 hours per week, outside normal working hours).

Am I allowed to do that on a Tier 2?

You can't be self-employed and this would be self-employment. You are creating a product and selling it. It's a business venture to make income and totally different to, say, selling your personal possessions that you no longer require, on Ebay. I think it's absurd that you can't do this but that is how I am interpreting the rules.
