Loading External Bundle Files allowed?

Question

We are trying to load external NSBundle files remotely using a technique similar to below

loading NSBundle files on iOS

Does anyone know whether apple allow you to do this?

I assume as long as you don't change the functionality it is allowed?

Thanks for all your help

You should ask Apple to be sure, but probably no.

The bundle can contain image / data resources but also code, and there is a restriction guideline against running code that wasn't in the app when it was reviewed. If you're just loading image / data resources then you'll probably be fine. Code resources, you might get through review but would likely be pulled if found out.
