Is this actually legal on iOS? I thought the App Store banned Lua code from being retrieved and executed on demand over the Internet.

For a release the lua code is surely translated into objective-c, so lua is 'just' used as a scripting language.

First of all, it couldn't possibly be illegal.

Second, apparently Apple now allow interpreters, just not JITs.
