I'm quite sure this kind of application is against Apple store rules and would be banned if published:
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. Educational apps designed to teach, develop, or allow students to test executable code may, in limited circumstances, download code provided that such code is not used for other purposes. Such apps must make the source code provided by the Application completely viewable and editable by the user.
- qubex 7y agoThat’s why it’s released through TestFlight.
- saagarjha 7y agoIt's up in the air, since Apple's guidelines are not consistently interpreted or enforced. It has, however, been approved to be on TestFlight thus far. (Which has little bearing on whether it will continue to be available, or if it will ever pass App Store review.)
- Wingy 7y agoIt stays within the container. It just emulates alpine linux. It's a VM. If that weren't allowed, how is Pythonista on the app store?
- saagarjha 7y agoPythonista readily lets you inspect the code you’re running, since it’s just a Python script.
