Shorebird CodePush: Revolutionising Flutter App Updates
summary
Shorebird CodePush delivers over‑the‑air Dart patches via a CLI that injects an updater library and uses commands like show init and show patch; demo shows a settings field removed with a ~330 KB patch and immediate background download then restart. Implementation forks Flutter/Dart, runs most patched code on the VM and only changed functions on an interpreter for iOS (early builds were ~100x slower but current tooling reports 98% VM execution). CI/CD integrates via GitHub Actions, requires one initial App Store/Play release, and forbids no asset/native updates.
