From my understanding people are giving rollout push rights to their app store accounts? So rollout can hijack all the apps it controls? It's a hell of a central authority, a security nightmare waiting to happen.

No, it allows apps to be modified by the apps pulling JS code from rollout's servers. App reviews would be way too slow, and they are exactly the problem that rollout solves. However, review times have improved a lot since then. ADDITION: It works by "swizzling" methods, which is a valid mechanism in Apple's runtimes (like in Ruby or many other dynamic languages). In Swift, this will only work in subclasses of NSObject or its decendants, because only then message dispatch is used.

  Ok, so there's no direct access to your App Store but idea is same - rollout can "hot fix" aka pwn all users at once. I'd be angry if I were apple too.

    Indeed, I always wondered how Rollout would not same day be rejected by Apple.
