Only compiled code can&amp;#x27;t be updated on the fly.&lt;p&gt;And in react native only the main framework is compiled, with the actual application running in a JS interpreter. So unless we upgrade the RN version, or start using a new SDK etc there will never be a reason to go through the App Store.&lt;p&gt;All interpreted code is sandboxed anyway, so there&amp;#x27;s no security risks involved.</text></comment>

Not affiliated, just saw it mentioned in one of the React Native PRs[3] to help enable some of the functionality.&lt;p&gt;[1]&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;apphub.io&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;apphub.io&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;[2]&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;AppHubPlatform&amp;#x2F;apphub-ios&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;AppHubPlatform&amp;#x2F;apphub-ios&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;[3]&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;facebook&amp;#x2F;react-native&amp;#x2F;pull&amp;#x2F;3189&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;facebook&amp;#x2F;react-native&amp;#x2F;pull&amp;#x2F;3189&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
