Do we have to rebuild and reinstall the app when you're restarting hot mode?

[Hixie]

If the engine hasn't changed, then couldn't we just use the same app as the last time? We're going to be sending all the source and assets over anyway, right?

Yes, we only need to rebuild / reinstall in hot mode if some native code (iOS bits, Android bits, or a plugin) changed.

We don't currently rebuild the APK/IPA during hot restart (it sounds like we used to?). This issue is likely obsolete.
