📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughNativeScript adds isolate-preserving application reload APIs. Reload clears workers, tasks, and module caches, supports an optional base directory, invokes a JavaScript reload hook, and exposes a reload counter. Tests cover module re-evaluation, native delegates, and application preservation. ChangesApplication reload

Reset stale JS error state before starting the new bundle.
jsErrorOccurred is process-global and survives reloads. After a previous debug error, the new runMainApplication can enter the debug error loop even if the reload was meant to provide a clean isolate restart.

I don't see this ever being a good idea. Bundle 1 calls UIApplicationMain with a custom AppDelegate extended in JS |
Yeah, the delegate class outlives the isolate, UIKit keeps dispatching to the old instance, and MethodCallback bails when the isolate's gone. So a JS-extended AppDelegate from bundle 1 would go inert after reload. The existing teardown behavior (same IsolateWrapper checks in ClassBuilder, the adapters, etc), and restartWithConfig itself has been in the runtime since the embedding work in #231. This just makes it callable from JS with the original config kept around. The reason it holds up in practice is that core doesn't actually rely on delegate dispatch for lifecycle, everything goes through NSNotificationCenter observers that get re-registered when the new isolate boots, and the soft-reboot path recreates the window against the live scene. We've been shipping these PR changes in production this year and it's been solid on this path, so this is proven useful already. The case you're describing (custom delegate methods like push token callbacks or openURL) is something worth handling though. Two things I can do as follow-up: have the soft-reboot path reassign UIApplication.sharedApplication.delegate to a fresh instance from the new bundle (with a strong ref since UIKit won't hold one), and add a log behind the script-loading flag when a dead-isolate callback fires so this failure mode is visible instead of silent. If you can think of other dispatch paths that'd stay pinned to the old isolate, lemme know. |
|
For now. With UIScene we now use delegates, so this only works until iOS 27. It works in embedding because in embedded we don't bootstrap the app and just render views on existing apps |
|
Thanks again for all the feedback @edusperoni, I've pushed up the follow-ups to address all cases (modern UIScene delegates and soon to be legacy standard delegate behavior). |
|
I still don't understand why this is needed. Is this for HMR? Because it seems like we're replacing irreplaceable parts of the application. Like if you change the app bootstrap or things that touch delegates we shouldn't expect the HMR to kick in instead of a full restart. Extended classes are dynamic already, so even if we reevaluate modules they'd just create new native classes that would get picked up when a new view is created. What does this bring in? Like 2s when someone touches critical files? |
|
This is for seamless production OTA (over-the-air) updates (unrelated to hmr). |
|
For OTA this is even worse! Half of people's delegates will be gone by that point and callbacks likely will just leak all around from the previous isolate. I could understand this for dev, but for prod it's just asking for crashes and weird behavior that are pretty much unfixable. Things like sentry and firebase will likely not work properly due to trying to initialize it multiple times for example |
|
This has already been in production for 6 months and proven stable, it's very helpful. I can show you offline how it works - will share details later this week. |

Disposing the isolate killed JS-backed UIApplicationDelegate and UIWindowSceneDelegate IMPs. reloadApplication now flushes module caches and invokes __onApplicationReload on the existing isolate instead of restartWithConfig or UIApplicationMain. TestRunner native callbacks msgSend into JS app and scene delegates before and after reload to prove those IMPs stay alive.

DefineNativeScriptRuntimeruns for both main and worker isolates (lines 623-634). ThereloadApplicationcallback (line 627) captures the invoking isolate but does not check whether it is a worker. Any worker can callNativeScriptRuntime.reloadApplication(baseDir), which invokes the process-global hook (line 633). The hook dispatches to the main thread and callsruntime_->ReloadJsApplication(), which resets the main runtime's modules, tasks, and application state. Add a check in the callback to reject calls from worker isolates. Retrieve the runtime usingRuntime::GetRuntime(isolate)and callIsRuntimeWorker()before invoking the hook. Return false if the caller is a worker.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Assert UIKit delegate ownership after reload.
reloadApplication() preserves existing JS-backed delegates; it does not create new delegates. Attach or obtain the real UIApplication.sharedApplication.delegate and active UIWindowScene.delegate, then assert that UIKit still references those same objects after reload. The current tests invoke callbacks on local objects only.

Restrict preserved modules to known vendor and runtime paths.
ModuleRegistryBasename preserves every module named vendor.mjs, vendor.js, runtime.mjs, or runtime.js, regardless of its directory or origin. An application chunk or remote module with one of these names will survive reload and can prevent an OTA update from loading the new code.
Use canonical bundle paths or an explicit module classification. Do not preserve application modules based only on their basename.

Invalidate resolver state during application reload.
This function removes old registry entries but leaves g_moduleResolutionStack, g_moduleReentryCounts, g_moduleReentryParents, g_modulePrimaryImporters, g_modulesInFlight, g_modulesPendingReset, g_moduleWaiters, and g_httpDynamicWaiters unchanged. A new import can therefore join an old waiter, be treated as recursive, or resolve an old module after the reload.
Reset or generation-tag all reload-sensitive resolver state. Reject pending application waiters before the new application starts.
