   Not only this is potentially a huge security risk having executable code in a writable area.
   
   It's also against app store terms of service breaking [section 2.5.2 on iOS](https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#software-requirements) and Google's [Device and Network Abuse](https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/11498144?hl=en) policy.
   
   iOS:
   
   >Apps should be self-contained in their bundles, and may not read or write data outside the designated container area, nor may they download, install, or execute code which introduces or changes features or functionality of the app, including other apps.
   
   Android/Google Play Store:
   
   >An app distributed via Google Play may not modify, replace, or update itself using any method other than Google Play's update mechanism.
   
   Generally speaking, if you're bypassing the review process, you are breaking the terms, and Cordova can't facilitate a feature which encourages that behavior.
