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.

Migration Guide

Install SwiftPatch SDK

Remove Stallion and add SwiftPatch to your React Native project

npm uninstall react-native-stallion && npm install swiftpatch

Update Imports & Initialization

Replace Stallion imports with SwiftPatch — the APIs are similar by design

// Before (Stallion)
import { useStallion } from 'react-native-stallion';
const { checkUpdate } = useStallion();

// After (SwiftPatch)
import { SwiftPatch } from 'swiftpatch';
SwiftPatch.init({
  deploymentKey: 'YOUR_KEY',
  autoRollback: true,
  checkFrequency: 'ON_APP_RESUME',
});

Upload Your First Bundle

Use the SwiftPatch CLI to create and upload a new bundle to the SwiftPatch Console

npx swiftpatch release --platform ios --platform android

SwiftPatch wins on performance, security & value

While both SwiftPatch and Stallion are modern CodePush alternatives, SwiftPatch leads in critical areas: faster binary-level patching, sub-3-second automatic rollback with crash correlation, production-ready enterprise tooling (Docker/Terraform), and better per-update pricing at scale. Teams that need reliability, security, and value choose SwiftPatch.

Binary-level diffing produces consistently smaller patches than Stallion's approach
Sub-3-second automatic rollback with real-time crash correlation prevents bad deploys
More affordable entry pricing ($19 Indie vs $29 Pro) with Team tier offering 200K deploys at $79/mo
Production-ready on-premise with Docker images and Terraform modules
Ed25519 bundle signing with private key ownership vs SHA-256 verification
Comprehensive audit logs with SIEM export for compliance
Full data residency controls (US, EU, APAC, custom) for GDPR compliance
Webhooks for CI/CD automation (release, rollback, error events)

Frequently Asked Questions

Is SwiftPatch better than React Native Stallion?

SwiftPatch outperforms Stallion in patch delivery speed, automatic rollback reliability, enterprise security features (Ed25519 signing, audit logs, data residency), and per-deploy pricing at scale. SwiftPatch starts at just $19/mo (Indie) vs Stallion's $29/mo Pro, with a Team tier at $79/mo offering 200K deploys — making it the better value for growing teams.

How does SwiftPatch pricing compare to Stallion?

SwiftPatch offers Free (5K deploys), Indie at $19/mo (25K deploys), Team at $79/mo (200K deploys), and custom Enterprise. Stallion Pro is $29/mo for 50,000 updates. SwiftPatch's Indie tier is more affordable to start, and the Team tier offers better per-deploy value at scale.

Can I migrate from Stallion to SwiftPatch?

Yes, migration takes under an hour. The APIs are similar in design. Simply replace the Stallion SDK with SwiftPatch, update your initialization code, and upload your first bundle. Our migration guide walks you through every step.

Which has better enterprise features?

SwiftPatch leads in enterprise capabilities: Ed25519 bundle signing (vs SHA-256), Docker + Terraform deployment (vs basic self-hosting), comprehensive audit logs with SIEM export, and full data residency controls across US, EU, and APAC regions.

Which handles rollbacks better?

SwiftPatch. It automatically detects crashes and rolls back in under 3 seconds with real-time crash correlation. SwiftPatch also provides staged rollouts with auto-promote and live health monitoring during rollouts — features Stallion doesn't offer at the same depth.

Does SwiftPatch work with Expo projects?

Yes. Unlike Stallion which requires bare React Native, SwiftPatch supports both bare React Native and Expo managed projects. You can use SwiftPatch as an Expo Updates replacement without ejecting.
