"An Application may not download or install executable code. Interpreted code may only be used in an Application if all scripts, code and interpreters are packaged in the Application and not downloaded. The only exception to the foregoing is scripts and code downloaded and run by Apple's built-in WebKit framework."
You also have to remember that everything has to be in the same binary. So, for example, GPLed code can't be included.
IMHO the only feasable way would be to have the compiler/tool run on a server (see http://feedback.textasticapp.com/feedback/7730-remote-source-code-compilation/).
Amazing program BTW!
A couple of apps have appeared that offer some very compelling local typesetting for LaTeX documents, namely Texpad en Tex Writer. Both seem to be based on different principles, though the end results are the same. Both approaches avoid the need to keep servers in the air for remote compiling and it works perfectly fine for the majority of documents. Nevertheless, none of these apps come anywhere near the usability of Textastic in terms of, well, editing and sharing the actual files :).
