I think what they do is bundle the binary code (a ruby interpreter) with the ruby code. It's all in one app bundle, and must be approved by Apple as a bundle. After all, an interpreter is nothing but a fancy state machine. How could Apple even tell if your code contained a state machine or not? What they don't allow is a program that allows the interpreted code to be changed or downloaded separately at a later date. Here's the actual text from the iPhone SDK Agreement: "No interpreted code may be downloaded and used in an Application except for code that is interpreted and run by Apple’s Published APIs and built-in interpreter(s)." On a related topic, I noticed that HP is now shipping iPhone versions of various "classic" HP calculators, some of which have built-in programming languages. I wonder how they managed that?
