This is a wall I have hit with App Review quite a few times

You have to stop viewing the apps from a technical perspective. App Review is _intentionally_ non-technical, as frustrating as that is for us developers. They enforce App Store policy from a non-technical standpoint

I produce an app which can download and run code, and was rejected many times through App Review. I was able to point to many other apps which _technically_ also downloaded and ran code — but the difference, to App Review, was entirely in the appearance (my code was text based, it "looked like code" and not like Scratch's visual programming, or nodes, or whatever)

I disagree with the App Review decision in this instance, but I think they are enforcing policy consistently. It just looks random to those of us with enough technical experience to look past the visuals and to the implementation



We'd be happy to include your experiences when we talk to Apple about 2.5.2 if you'd like to share them with us. (I work on iSH, so you can either use the email on my profile or any of the other ways to contact the iSH team.)
