SwiftPatch is the deployment platform for React Native — like Vercel, but for mobile. Ship deploys instantly, skip the App Store, roll back in under 3 seconds, and monitor every deployment. Works with any CI pipeline (GitHub Actions, Bitrise, Codemagic). With 98% smaller deploys and enterprise security, SwiftPatch is the modern CodePush replacement.

Is SwiftPatch better than CodePush?

Yes. CodePush was deprecated in March 2025 when Microsoft shut down App Center. SwiftPatch is the modern mobile deployment platform with 98% smaller differential deploys, automatic rollback in under 3 seconds, Ed25519 bundle signing, staged rollouts, real-time analytics, and CI/CD integrations — features CodePush never had.

How does SwiftPatch compare to React Native Stallion?

SwiftPatch is a full mobile deployment platform, not just an OTA tool. It offers 98% smaller deploys through binary-level diffing, automatic rollback in under 3 seconds, enterprise on-premise deployment, Ed25519 bundle signing, CI/CD integrations, and a free tier with 5,000 deploys/month. Stallion is an OTA library; SwiftPatch is the deployment layer.

How fast can I deploy React Native updates with SwiftPatch?

SwiftPatch deploys in under 60 seconds — just like Vercel deploys web apps. Your users receive updates instantly without waiting for App Store or Play Store review. One command, any CI pipeline.

Is SwiftPatch compliant with Apple and Google policies?

Yes. SwiftPatch is 100% compliant with Apple App Store Guidelines Section 3.3.2 and Google Play Store policies. You can only update JavaScript bundles and assets — native code changes still require a store submission.

What happens if a deployment crashes my app?

SwiftPatch automatically detects crashes and rolls back to the last stable deploy in under 3 seconds. Your users never experience prolonged downtime thanks to built-in automatic rollback protection.

How do I migrate from CodePush to SwiftPatch?

Migration takes under 10 minutes. Run npx swiftpatch migrate and follow the prompts. SwiftPatch automatically converts your CodePush configuration. You get a full deployment platform — not just an OTA replacement.

What is differential patching in mobile deployment?

Differential patching deploys only the changed bytes between versions, not the entire bundle. SwiftPatch achieves 98% smaller deploys using binary-level diffing, reducing a typical 20MB bundle to just 200KB — saving bandwidth and making deploys near-instant.

Yes. SwiftPatch offers a free Starter plan with 5,000 deploys/month and 2 apps. No credit card required. Pro plans start at $49/month for growing teams with 100,000 deploys/month.

Can I self-host SwiftPatch on-premise?

Yes. SwiftPatch offers enterprise-grade on-premise and private cloud deployment infrastructure. Your deploys never leave your environment with end-to-end encryption, Ed25519 bundle signing, and audit trails to meet SOC 2 and GDPR requirements.

How does SwiftPatch compare to Expo Updates and EAS Update?

Unlike Expo Updates, SwiftPatch is a full deployment platform that works with any React Native project and any CI pipeline — no Expo lock-in. SwiftPatch provides 98% smaller deploys through differential deployment, while Expo sends full bundles. Plus on-premise hosting, Ed25519 bundle signing, and advanced rollback controls.

Does SwiftPatch support React Native New Architecture?

Yes. SwiftPatch fully supports React Native New Architecture (Fabric and TurboModules) from version 0.69 and above, ensuring compatibility with the latest React Native apps.
