Ship your first OTA update in 5 minutes.

Introduction

SwiftPatch is an over-the-air deployment platform for React Native. Push a JS bundle diff and your users run the new code on next app launch — no App Store Review, no 48-hour wait.

Quickstart

Three commands. That's the whole thing.

$ npm install swiftpatch
$ npx swiftpatch init
$ npx swiftpatch deploy --channel production

Install the SDK

The SDK is a single npm package plus a tiny native bridge. No pod install, no Gradle tweak — the autolinker handles it.

npm install swiftpatch
# or
yarn add swiftpatch
# or
pnpm add swiftpatch

Your first deploy

swiftpatch init generates an Ed25519 signing keypair and writes swiftpatch.config.ts to the project root. The private key stays on your machine; never commit it.

Signing keys

Every deploy is signed on your machine with your private key and verified on-device with the public key baked into the binary. We literally cannot push code to your users.

swiftpatch deploy

The main workhorse. Accepts a channel, optional rollout strategy, and an arbitrary JSON payload for release notes.

swiftpatch deploy \
  --channel production \
  --rollout staged \
  --notes "fix: typo on settings screen"
