How does work if Apple forbids managed runtimes to exist in iOS?

  They don't, they only forbid downloading and executing new code after installation.

    If that was the case you could run Mono/.NET code without pre-JITting it. And that is not the case.

      I think they forbid JITting, but you can still interpret whatever you want.

      It IS the case. What you can't do is JITting. And, as far as I know, no one has bothered porting a pure .NET interpreter to iOS.

    So could you download an extension python module and run it? If so, it should be disallowed from the app store (going by Apple's rules).
