testflight download a stack from an iOS app

Post by jmburnod » Sun Jan 03, 2021 12:42 pm

Hi All,
I wonder if download a free stack from an iOS app is allowed on testFlight.
I know that Apple doesn't allow this for AppStore, Appple consider with reason that a stack is code. I search a way to get an allowed modular approach.
Of course I can use development profil to do it but testflight is easier, no need iuid, just an available e-mail.
Best regards and happy new year

I'm not sure Apple disallows specific data formats from being downloaded by an app.

I'm very sure what they want to avoid is an app that transforms itself into something other than what they reviewed.

But stack files are data, and their scripts are like spreadsheet formulas, or the directives in an interactive ebook: the engine is what is sandboxed, and scripts are constrained by that sandbox.

I believe that supporting the intent of their rule is sufficient, and we have a wide range of examples to draw from to support that view.

Thanks Richard,
I referred to this thread:

I'm not sure I fully understand the difference between "transforming an application" and adding an available stack or opening a remote stack.
Yes standalone is not changed but I guess it is possible to create a stack that make something else than they have reviewed.
