is there a way to update the nodejs version via a script. I am currently trying to run some code on play.js which is a javascript IDE for iPad but it does not have a terminal option, and I am currently running into errors because of the current node version within the app itself.

many thanks

It is very unlikely that you'll be able to change the Node.js runtime of the app yourself.

According to the app landing page https://playdotjs.com, it seems the app comes with Node 12.16.0.

The app developer would have to implement a user-facing feature in order to use another runtime/switch versions/download versions.

Keep in mind that in order to distribute Play.js on the App Store, CodeSandbox has to comply with the various and rather strict policies set forth by Apple.

Your best chance is to reach out to the app developer and ask them to either update the runtime or provide the ability to choose one yourself within the app.
