Basically React-Native with the html coming from a server. I dont buy the argument that this will fly with Apple+Google. They like to be in control of what your app experience is and this by definition is contrary to that.

Apple is more concerned with the code your app executes and especially that it does not change after it goes through the review process. From what I understand, they verify this by reviewing the set of system frameworks your app uses during the review process and then periodically checking this against installed versions of your app on users devices.

Downloading remote code from a server is different than downloading UI configuration. The code required for an SDUI implementation is contained within your app and goes through the normal review process.

Whether it downloads code or not is separate from whether you significantly alter the UI (and/or content). If you start serving up inappropriate content, surely there is some threshold you’ll eventually cross

Apple tolerates this usually. As long as you don‘t send code in binary form, it’s not against the rules afaik. JS code should also be fine.
