Answer from AI
To avoid frequent native releases of a mobile application, the following patterns are used:
- Feature Flags — allow enabling or disabling functionality without releasing a new version.
- Dynamic Delivery / Modularization — splitting the application into modules that can be updated separately.
- Using WebView or hybrid components — part of the logic and interface is loaded dynamically from the internet.
- Over-the-Air (OTA) updates — updating JavaScript code or resources without a release in the app store.
For example, React Native with CodePush allows updating the app's JS code without a native release.
