JSPatch is a library that bridges Objective-C and JavaScript using the Objective-C runtime, allowing JavaScript code to call any Objective-C class and method. It is primarily used to hotfix iOS apps dynamically by replacing or patching Objective-C code at runtime without resubmitting to the App Store.
Use cases
- hotfix bugs in an iOS app without an App Store release
- call Objective-C classes and methods from JavaScript
- replace Objective-C method implementations dynamically at runtime
- add new modules or features to a shipped iOS app via scripts
- patch native iOS code using JavaScript downloaded from a server
When to choose
- you need to dynamically patch or fix a shipped Objective-C iOS app
- you want to script native iOS behavior from JavaScript using the Objective-C runtime
- you maintain a legacy Objective-C iOS codebase that needs runtime code replacement
When to avoid
- you are building a new Swift-only or SwiftUI app with modern tooling
- you need App Store-safe hotfixing, since Apple has restricted this approach
- you want an actively developed solution - the project has seen little activity since 2020
