Does this permit out of band code execution, or does it require google or similar pre-cache any code to be executed? The latter is still a significant benefit over the former, as it guarantees non-targeted code deployment (at least if you trust the App Store)

Edit: and revocation.

The android platform lets you download code from anuwhere and sideliad it into your app (IIRX Unity can do this for you, for example). The thing I linked to does require you to upload to Play because I can't recall if there's a name for the DIY version.

Either way if the app itself is pulled any code downloaded is running within the app, so it goes away too.
