It's against the App Store rules but if you build an app with React Native/Expo you can OTA update it to do something completely different without going through another review. Enforcement is minimal, especially since you can selectively roll out updates to make it unlikely that a reviewer gets it.
replyIt's such a weird thing to be concerned about though. Your phone automatically updates apps by default so they can suddenly look different later. And even then, so what? If the change was malicious just stop using it? Apps are sandboxed, websites are sandboxed, you'll be fine.

replyWhat's worse is that there's practically no process to report any sort of rulebreaking, so someone could be mining crypto or running a residential proxy [1] through the mobile game I've been playing, and I'd be none the wiser.
Not really, no.
replyNot that it doesn’t occasionally happen, but at that point you’re trying to dodge the police… as compared to there being no police in the first place.
In this case the police are not watching. Apple does a cursory review during the approval process but they are not proactively firing up your app to see if anything changed post-review.
