Over-the-Air (OTA) Updates
Also written as OTA Updates, Over-the-Air Updates, CodePush, EAS Update, Shorebird
Pushing small fixes straight to users' installed apps without a new app store release, possible for React Native (EAS Update; Microsoft's CodePush was retired in 2025) and Flutter (Shorebird). Store rules allow it only for limited changes, so teams still ship normal releases for anything bigger.
Think of it like
Swapping a price tag on the shelf overnight instead of recalling and reprinting the whole product.
Junior or senior?
Useful but risky if misused.
Senior sounds like
Can explain what their team allowed to go out over the air versus through the store, and how they rolled back a bad update.
Ask them
“What kinds of changes did your team ship over the air versus through a store release, and how did you undo a bad update?”
