Summary

React Native applications are composed of native code and a JavaScript (JS) bundle, with the latter being capable of over-the-air updates, unlike the native part that requires app store updates. This capability is particularly beneficial in speeding up development workflows, as traditionally seen with tools like EAS Update and Microsoft CodePush, which bypass the app store review process to deliver updates directly to users. Expo is enhancing this process by integrating EAS Update with GitHub, allowing developers to receive updates automatically for each commit, thereby combining mobile and web development efficiencies. This integration supports two key workflows: previewing changes from pull requests through QR code scanning and pushing updates directly to users by committing changes to specific branches. This feature aims to streamline code review and deployment patterns, with further enhancements anticipated as part of Expo's ongoing expansion of EAS capabilities.
