    I think there is some confusion around this. You can use Javascript with iOS if you use Webkit + JavaScript Core, and ship all your features in the binary that your app uses. 2.5.2 "Apps should be self-contained in their bundles, and may not read or write data outside the designated container area, nor may they download, install, or execute code which introduces or changes features or functionality of the app, including other apps." and 4.7 " your app must use WebKit and JavaScript Core to run third-party software and should not attempt to extend or expose native platform APIs to third-party software"

  What specifically is not allowed? Microsoft provide CodePush as a service which allows you to push updated JavaScript bundles to Android and iOS apps.

  It is totally allowed on iOS. Perhaps your thinking about downloading such JS code at runtime from your servers, thus escaping Apple's control on the app, which was indeed forbidden (it is now ok as long as you don't drastically change the app) Bundling JS in the app and running it has always been just fine.
