DyCI is a dynamic code injection tool for Objective-C that lets developers inject code changes into a running iOS application without restarting it. It integrates with Xcode projects via CocoaPods or manual setup to speed up iteration on UI, animations, and debugging.

Use cases

  • inject code changes into a running iOS app without restarting
  • see UI and animation changes instantly while developing
  • add log statements at runtime for debugging
  • speed up Objective-C development iteration in Xcode
  • experiment with code changes like a playground

When to choose

  • you maintain a legacy Objective-C iOS project and want faster iteration
  • you want runtime code injection for debugging or UI tweaking in Xcode
  • you want a playground-like workflow without rewriting your code

When to avoid

  • you use Swift or modern tooling with better hot-reload support
  • you need an actively maintained tool - the last release was 2017
  • you plan to ship the tool in production apps - it creates a security hole
  • you frequently update Xcode, as DyCI can break Xcode on update
