From fear to air embracing over the air app updates

" summary

Shows concrete ways to push changes without App Store approvals: using Firebase Remote Config and Crowdin to swap copy, RevenueCat to edit paywalls live, and a real trick where a feature flag hides problematic fields to get an app approved. Describes tradeoffs of Code Push (provider hosting, MAU pricing, cannot change native layers) and building a server-driven UI plus a live demo of a generative UI/agentic travel app that renders UIs on the fly and even attempts to book a hotel (mostly works until API/token limits).
