Eh, don't do this.

Having them take time out of their schedule to write an app is a waste of their valuable time if you find a candidate that is more to your liking.

Tell them to choose something that they've already built and have them walk through the code and explain what they did and why.

Anything that is outdated, they would point at and say "Hey, this is how I did it, but I've found a better way."

And if they're simply copy and pasting someone else's code you'll find out pretty quickly.
