## What it is
Amigo is a hotfix library for Android that lets developers patch bugs in a released app by loading a patch APK at runtime, without going through the app store. It ships as a Gradle plugin plus an Android library and can fix code, resources, and more.

## Use cases
- fix bugs in a released android app without publishing a new version
- apply a hotfix patch apk at runtime
- patch android app code and resources after release
- avoid full app store release for small fixes
- load an updated apk when the app restarts

## When to choose
- you maintain an Android app on API 7–25 and need runtime patching
- you want a hotfix solution that can patch code, resources, and more
- you prefer applying patches via a full patch APK rather than bytecode manipulation

## When to avoid
- you target Android 8.0+ or very recent Android versions
- you need an actively maintained hotfix solution with vendor support
- you need the Amigo backend service platform, which is no longer supported
