It’s probably only a year or two out that Apple will inform us that “for security reasons,” they’ll only accept App Store submissions in the form of an XCode project, i.e. as source only. (What are developers going to do? NOT be on the iPhone?)

I'd have original Slopus 5 rename my variables and replace all comments with inline 'docs' for my existing 500k LOC code base.
Good luck with parsing that one, Apple.
I'm joking, but in seriousness, I'm not sure they would gain much from that which they couldn't already analyze from the binary.

Yeah, I have an app with ~150 users, and Play Store updates slowed down to about a week for a moment, but lately they have been going out within the hour.

I've heard those reports, but it's absolutely insane. Having feature flags is table stakes on mobile. And being able to put out security or bugfix updates rapidly is the killer feature of React Native. The current ToS say you need store review for feature changes, and that's fine. But OTA updates and feature flag changes for bugfixes, phased rollouts, A/B testing, and security patches are critical.
Just last week we saw a critical CVE in BetterAuth integrations for mobile app sessions. Being able to put out a patch without being gatekept on review is just so important in a world where crazy security vulnerabilities are being disclosed daily.
I'd also love the ability to take back control over my rollouts, but with Apple's recent crackdown on remote controlled feature flags in response to fraudulent nudification apps, I'd be very careful about this.
Rumors say Apple now uses heuristics to detect feature flags in the binary. While that's not directly relevant to remotely delivered JS, I fear that bypassing App Review in this way could become a quick ticket to account termination.
