## What it is
MangoFix is an iOS hotfix SDK built around a DSL whose syntax closely resembles Objective-C, allowing developers to replace any Objective-C or Swift method at runtime via downloaded or bundled scripts. It includes a lexer/parser/interpreter for the Mango language and supports AES-encrypted script execution.

## Use cases
- hotfix a crashing iOS app without an App Store release
- patch Objective-C methods at runtime
- replace Swift methods in a shipped iOS app
- run encrypted patch scripts downloaded from a server
- fix production bugs in iOS apps instantly

## When to choose
- you need to patch both Objective-C and Swift code in production iOS apps
- you want a JSPatch alternative with Objective-C-like syntax
- you need encrypted hotfix scripts for security

## When to avoid
- you target the App Store and cannot accept GPL-3.0 licensing implications
- you need a cross-platform hotfix solution beyond iOS
- your app review strategy forbids runtime code patching

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: interpreter, parser, sdk, developer-tools
- domain: mobile-development, programming-languages, developer-tools
- platform: cpp
- tags: hotfix, dsl, objective-c, runtime-patching, jspatch-alternative, swift-hotfix, ios, mobile, swift
