So if I have an imbeded webpage inside of my app and that website is updated do I suddenly violate the EULA. What if its a social media app that provides users the ability to write custom HTML/CSS/JS to personalize their profiles and a user writes a game that runs in the header of that profile. What if that game suddenly allows the ability to access copyrighted material?

I just don't understand how Apple is supposed to draw a line here.

Web apps are fine, I believe the issue is Apple wants to prevent apps from updating their Objective-C code. Anything run by WebKit is fine. From the Rollout page linked above:

> With Rollout’s SDK you can update and modify your Objective-C methods with logic written in JavaScript so we’re good on the first condition.

I think that is the problem with Rollout.
