AndFix is an Android library that provides online hot-fix capability, allowing developers to patch bugs in a shipped app by replacing method bodies at runtime without redistributing the app. It supports Android 2.3-7.0 on Dalvik and ART runtimes, ARM and x86 architectures, and includes an apkpatch tool for generating .apatch files.

Use cases

  • fix bugs in a released android app without publishing an update
  • apply runtime method-level patches to android apps
  • hot-fix critical crashes in production android apps
  • generate patch files comparing old and new android apks
  • distribute app patches from my own server

When to choose

  • you must hot-fix a legacy Android app running Android 2.3-7.0 without a store update
  • you need method-level native patching on Dalvik or ART

When to avoid

  • you target Android 8.0 or newer, which AndFix does not support
  • you want an actively maintained hot-fix solution
  • your project uses modern Android build tooling and Java versions
