How would you design a Swift architecture that supports hotfixes without App Store release?

Updated May 17, 2026

Short answer

Use feature flags, remote configuration, and dynamic behavior toggles for non-binary changes.

Deep explanation

iOS does not allow code hot-swapping like web systems, so hotfixes rely on configuration-driven logic. Feature flags can disable broken paths instantly. Remote config can adjust behavior without redeployment. However, logic-level fixes still require App Store updates.
