10 CodePush Alternatives in 2026 (React Native OTA Updates Compared)
Blog post from Bitrise
Microsoft’s retirement of App Center and its hosted CodePush service in March 2025 ended the original destination for React Native over-the-air updates, although the client SDK and open-source server foundations remain available. OTA tools can deliver JavaScript and asset changes without store review but cannot update native code, and choosing a replacement depends chiefly on SDK compatibility, React Native New Architecture and Expo CNG support, pricing structure, bandwidth efficiency, rollout safety, and enterprise needs such as code signing and data residency. The guide compares eight managed services, self-hosting options, and Shorebird for Flutter: Bitrise CodePush, Expo EAS Update, Revopush, AppZung, AppsOnAir, Appcircle, React Native Stallion, and Codemagic CodePush offer differing combinations of CodePush compatibility, delta updates, CI/CD integrations, EU or on-premises hosting, and MAU-, download-, update-, or bandwidth-based pricing. Teams using the original SDK can often migrate by changing endpoints and deployment keys, while those changing SDKs or adopting Expo’s update model may need more extensive work; regardless of platform, a staged rollout, rollback testing, and CI/CD integration are recommended before full deployment.
