How is Mozilla to do that?
AFAIK Epic did their move by pushing "legal" iOS code, then doing an over-the-air update of adding non-Apple payment system.
Mozilla can't just push a rendering & JavaScript engine "over the air".
- schmichael 6y agoAh, fair.
- dilap 6y agoCan't they? Is app review actually disassembling the code to see what capabilities it has? Just include both native renderer and webkit, and over the air switch which you use.
- dimmke 6y agoIt’d get picked up by binary scanning tools. “Why did your ipa triple in size?” Plus I doubt Mozilla is in the mode to burn months of programmers time on a stunt right now.

No, the code was hidden in the app itself, just disabled via server-side flag. After the app was approved they then flipped the flag to enable it. Source: Epic admits this in their legal filings.
