Speed Up Your Mobile Patches in Prod with Shorebird & Flutter
summary
Shorebird is a code‑push system for Flutter (v1.2) that delivers small ART bundle patches using a custom Flutter fork, downloads them in the background and switches to the patched bundle on next app launch. It supports Flutter 3.10+ on Android and ~3.16.9 on iOS, provides staging and rollout modes (manual/auto/notification), crash‑reporting integration and rollback to the original bundle if a patch fails, but is limited to Dart code (no native code), lacks code signing and progressive rollout, and is priced per patch install (example estimate ~ $2k/month at very large scale).
