You can update the javascript parts without having to deploy a new version of the app, which takes time on the store's end to approve.

- duiker101 9y agoIsn't that highly against the policy?
- s73ver_ 9y agoThey've oked it.
- jd20 9y agoAt one point, I read that the rule in question, is you cannot push new features without going through the approval process again. So it really comes down to what Apple considers "new features". People have definitely pushed bug fixes, and even small features, without issue. Perhaps ironically, when I worked on the iTunes Store (which is mostly all HTML and JavaScript) there was hardly a week went by that new code didn't get pushed (mostly bug fixes and under-the-hood updates). Yet Apple only really announced new iTunes Store features several times a year. So, one would hope they understand the need for continuously updating a complex piece of software, versus shipping major pieces of new functionality.
- sghiassy 9y agoPer Apples policy interpreted languages are allowed to be updated over-the-air as long as they don’t change the app in any significant way (aka bug fixes and such)
- O_H_E 9y agoYeah, but how technically. Do you tell JS to run some code on a server, and change that code -aka backend-??? Or what else???
