Chirag Shenoy discusses how to build dynamic, server-driven user interfaces in Flutter where the backend controls layouts and events.

How cool would it be to have an app which is completely controlled by the backend? No, I don't mean A/B tests or deciding which color a button should be, or what set of features should be available for a certain user. I mean EVERYTHING being controlled from the backend. Be it all your app layouts, handling click events, what API calls to make, maintaining local databases, deciding how to display content on different devices, or even what screen to show next! Customization and flexibility on Steroids.

There's some prior art in the Flutter community for dynamic UIs from what I've found, though they express UIs as large blobs of configuration. link to this video https://pub.dev/packages/dynamic_widget The basic premise should be fine on iOS. Section 2.5.2 is a touch ambiguous with what it means by "execute". https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#2.5.2 As long as you're not introducing tonnes of new screens or brand new features over the air, you probably won't run afoul of review. Now, I say that but I've been burned more times than I can count at this point by Apple seemingly reinterpreting their own rules…

Here is a presentation on how to make Flutter render a page fully based on input from the backend: link to this video I can imagine that using such code you can also let others make pages within your app.
