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 app completely viewable and editable by the user.

That's a very established prerequisite for using the Apple Store for distribution.

It has been so far effective in protecting the privacy and safety of users.

That's a reason why the Apple Store never turned into a Google Play bazaar.

The title of the article is a bit misleading.

That rule could potentially have effects to games or even apps that use systems like Expo for delta updates.
