adjuncton Apple starts rejecting apps with “hot code push” features

I'm Erez Rusovsky, the CEO of Rollout.io

Rollout's mission has always been, and will always be about helping developers create and deploy mobile apps quickly and safely. Our current product has been a life saver for hundreds of apps by allowing them to patch bugs in live apps.

We were surprised by Apple's actions today. From what we've been able to gather, they seem to be rejecting any app which utilizes a mechanism of live patching, not just apps using Rollout.

Rollout has always been compliant with Apple's guidelines as we've detailed in the past here: https://rollout.io/blog/updating-apps-without-app-store/

Our SDK is installed in hundreds of live apps and our customers have fixed thousands of live bugs in their apps.

We are contacting Apple in order to get further clarification on why Rollout doesn't fall under the clause that lets developers push JS to live apps as long as it does not modify the original features and functionality of the app.

I'll post updates as I have them.

Great stuff man, I wonder how many apps would suffer from problems when trying to access directly Amazon s3, also how many app updates would get pushed just to update plist

Changing production code is usually done due to two reasons:

1. Optimization - All mobile A/B testing platforms. (Manually or automatic) - http://www.appiterate.com,http://www.leanPlum.com,http://www... http://www.useartisan.com)

2. Quality issues - Either technical or UI Here there as far as I know one unique company http://www.rollout.io that gives developers control over their production environment from hard core bugs hot-patching and UI changes to SDK control and analytic control.

I'm guessing all of these companies use the same technology which seems legit in regards to Apple, as long as none of them are using code injection.
