It looks like it is in the App Store, so I guess my question is already answered - but I wonder if they had trouble or concerns getting it accepted.
Section 2.5.2 in "App Review Guidelines" (https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/):
2.5.2 Apps should be self-contained in their bundles, and may not read or write data outside the designated container area, nor may they download, install, or execute code which introduces or changes features or functionality of the app, including other apps. Educational apps designed to teach, develop, or allow students to test executable code may, in limited circumstances, download code provided that such code is not used for other purposes. Such apps must make the source code provided by the app completely viewable and editable by the user. replies(2):
