AppStore / iOS apps and interpreted code - where do they draw the line?

Question

Apple\'s iOS developer guidelines state:

3.3.2 — An Application may not itself install or launch other executable code by any means, including without lim

Answer 1

There's a major difference between the Guidelines and actual practice by the App Review team.

The current Guidelines state:

2.7 Apps that download code in any way or form will be rejected

2.8 Apps that install or launch other executable code will be rejected

So, the old ban on interpreted code is gone, and replaced by a ban on apps that could be considered to be IDEs or self-modifying.

However in practice there are a number of apps which do this, hence the difference between theoria and praxis.
