By this interpretation, wouldn't any Cordova or ReactNative app that uses tools like Microsoft CodePush service (or other .js update push feature) be similarly banned.
It's easy to tell if an app has done this if it tells you about an update. If you go to the App Store Updates, and see an update there, then it's from Apple, and all is ok. If you don't see an update there, then it's not coming from Apple.
i know its obvious. But I've had several apps, including a couple from Adobe tell me to update the apps. That seems strange, doesn't it? After all, you shouldn't need to update the apps. But often I go to updates (I have hundreds of apps on my ipad!), and there's a dozen apps waiting to be updated, including the Adobe one. It seems that when I open the app, it knows there's a new update, but for some reason, the iPad hasn't yet updated.
It's not that difficult to know that the app is not on its latest version, either by checking on Adobe's servers (in this case), or querying the App Store. You don't need to send new code to the app for that.

No, you don't. It's interesting that some apps tell you to update the app, when you shouldn't need to be told as it's supposed to be done without intervention.
