A number of other posts talk explicitly of dynamic delivery of native code. If you're sure, it's a genuine question: I'm interested to know how this works. Function pointer swaps are one thing, but how would this allow you to patch bugs in the app? I can see how this could let you change the app's behaviour, even including calling private API's, but surely this would be constrained to calling pre-existing behaviour?

Or by adding new behaviour is this to mean new javascript behaviour.



I think they are confused by the downloading of JavaScript files and executing that inside a 'native context'. I looked at how rollout did their stuff in detail a while back, so i can see how its easy to confuse the two.
