Over-the-Air (OTA) Updates

Airborne SDK Overview

Purpose

Airborne enables Hyperswitch SDK to receive live updates without requiring an app store release. This allows you to:

  • Push urgent bug fixes instantly.
  • Roll out features gradually.
  • Control app behavior remotely via feature toggles.

Real-World Hyperswitch Scenarios

  • Critical Checkout Fix – Push a new JS bundle to resolve a bug affecting payments.
  • Feature Rollout – Show “One-Click Pay” to 5% of users, expand once results are good.
  • Remote Toggles – Enable/disable “Gift Card Support” instantly for specific merchants.

OTA Flow

  1. App Launch
    • User opens the Hyperswitch-powered app.
  2. Release Config Fetch
    • Airborne makes an API call to your server to fetch the latest release configuration for the app.
  3. Update Check
    • If the config shows an update is available, Airborne immediately starts downloading the new JavaScript bundle.
  4. Instant Install
    • Once the critical files are downloaded, Airborne installs the bundle and hands over the latest reference to the app for use in the same launch session.
  5. Fallback Handling
    • If the update fails or times out, Airborne automatically falls back to:
      • The previously downloaded working bundle, or
      • The default bundle shipped with the app.
  6. Background Downloads
    • Non-critical assets (lazy files) continue to download while the app runs, so the user is never blocked.
