I have a question, why is Roblox allowed on the iOS app store? The reason I ask is because I have an idea that involves people sharing code that is sandboxed but this is ostensibly not allowed by iOS app store guidelines... How does Roblox get around this requirement? It seems like they are getting special treatment?

    can you elaborate what do you mean "sharing code that is sandboxed" in your question? Im not too familiar to roblox

    You might find better answers by asking/searching for reasons “Pythonista” and “Carnets” are allowed.
