What is HotPatch?
"Push updates to your React Native app instantly — bypass the store review cycle."
HotPatch allows you to send updates to your app's JavaScript layer directly. Your users get the latest version the next time they open the app. No review wait times. No manual updates.
Scope of Updates
Updates cover your entire UI, business logic, and assets. Native code changes (e.g. new permissions or native module updates) still require a store submission and manual update by the user.
