Runtime Dependency Injection

Hi,

I'm doing a feasibility analysis for an upcoming project.

One of the requirements is to inject client specific code onto selected devices without having to include all the code at the time of build/publish.

The client code would then be added to a protocol stack and be processed along with a number of other pre-existing providers.

In .Net you would do something like this. Is there an equivalent for iOS?

public Stack<IFoo> ProtocolStack;

public interface IContext { }

public interface IFoo {
  void Process(IContext bar);
};

public void InjectCode(string assemblyLocation, string className)
{
  System.Reflection.Assembly assembly = System.Reflection.Assembly.LoadFile(assemblyLocation);
  IFoo provider = (IFoo)assembly.CreateInstance(className);
  ProtocolStack.Push(provider);
}
