Codea has been around for a few years now. It lets you code iPad apps on the iPad using Lua. You can even export the project to Xcode so you can eventually deploy your creations to the App Store. And this is certainly not the only iOS-based coding environment. It looks like Apple has knowingly made an exception for this use case because it's not the type of thing they had set out to prevent with their rules around loadable code. Apps like Codea bring a lot of value to the platform.

As long as codea only allows copying and pasting code it's not breaking any terms You can see this is how they handled it https://bitbucket.org/TwoLivesLeft/core/wiki/CopyingCode https://bitbucket.org/TwoLivesLeft/core/wiki/CopyingCode Swift Playground doesn't seem to have that limit which arguably makes Swift Playground a whole lot better and arguably anti-competitive
