Nuwa is a pure-Java hotfix library and Gradle plugin for Android that lets developers patch bugs in a shipped app without publishing a new APK. It works by injecting hook code into classes at build time and loading a patch.jar at runtime, supporting both Dalvik and ART runtimes.
Use cases
- hotfix a bug in a released android app without publishing a new apk
- patch android application classes at runtime
- apply runtime code patches to an android app
- fix production crashes quickly on android
- generate and load patch jars in an android build
When to choose
- you need to repair a released Android app without going through the app store
- your project uses Dalvik or ART, ProGuard, or multidex and needs hotpatch support
- you want a pure-Java hotfix solution integrated via Gradle
When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained solution - the project has had no releases since 2022 and no license
- you target modern Android versions where class-injection hotfix approaches may be restricted
- you need patch management/distribution features, which were never completed
