I was surprised to see the mention of Rollout which I hadn't heard of which claims to allow you to push hot fixes to native iOS apps. Although I've been out of the iOS game for a while, I recalled this being against Apple's ToS. Apparently this is is still true to some degree, but they have an interesting blog post about how they can work around these restrictions.

- michaelmior 11y agoThe interesting bit being that they can patch native methods using JS. You have to write a specific patch in JS though and still fix the original native code before pushing out the next version.
