iOS 12 uses Lua code downloaded from Apple's servers

Adding to the other replies explaining why it's not hypocritical, I have an example. Consider section 5.2.4 of Apple's App Store Review Guidelines https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#int...

    > 5.2.4 Apple Endorsements: Don’t suggest or infer that Apple is a source or
    > supplier of the App, or that Apple endorses any particular representation
    > regarding quality or functionality.

Apple definitely infers and suggests and even explicitly states that Apple is the supplier of their own apps. This clearly violates section 5.2.4. But Apple does not have to follow the rules that apply to third party developers because they're not third party developers. They're first party developers.

I think they mean "imply" rather than "infer", don't they? Inferring is drawing a conclusion: you imply something, and I infer your meaning.

Good catch. I didn't notice that when copying it.
