This doesn't come as news to me. Every website can be shown via WK/UIWebViews as a "mobile app". Each javascript therefore is "hot code" being pushed. But I don't think Apple ever disallowed that, on the contrary it was the only way to develop for iPhone 1.

After we announced 0.9.2 and hot code push for mobile apps, many of our users wanted to be sure it was kosher. It's easy to get confused about this because the App Store review guidelines suggest that downloading code isn't okay. And many Meteor developers don't have a deep background in the iOS ecosystem. The cool part about 0.9.2 is you can build mobile apps with just your basic Meteor/JS/HTML5 knowledge.

Apple's formal developer agreement is both controlling and clarifying, and since it's a bit harder to find we thought it would be good to point Meteor developers at the key part.
