Remote code-only updates in Defold (SOLVED)

Questions
1

I’ve been searching for a while here and can’t seem to find any info on this topic regarding to Defold.

Is it possible right now to remotely update Lua scripts without rebuilding and resubmitting the build?
Especially for the already released builds that are hanging out in the wild (Google Play or AppStore)

Defold surely has some sort of functionality built-in, allowing over-usb scripts updates (hot reload), but what about over-the-air updates?

I know about possible technical requirements and intricacies, it’s just interesting whether it’s technically possible

Hi sven!

Wow. I’ve seen that document quite a while back, but was sure that it’s intended for content only (images, sounds etc.). It wasn’t apparent that scripts are possible to update using this technique too (and I wasn’t sure until you’ve explicitly pointed this out).

Thanks!
