Implementing CodePush in React Native
Blog post from LogRocket
React Native developers can streamline the process of updating mobile applications using react-native-code-push, a module for CodePush that enables direct app updates to users without relying on app store submissions. CodePush, managed by Microsoft AppCenter, allows developers to instantly synchronize JavaScript updates to end users, offering features such as rollbacks and testing configurations across various devices and platforms. The guide details the steps for setting up CodePush, including creating a standard deployment on AppCenter, configuring applications for iOS and Android, and integrating CodePush into React Native via the react-native-code-push module. Developers must install necessary tools, like the App Center CLI, and can automate updates through scripts in the package.json file. This approach enhances efficiency by bypassing the traditional review process of app stores and facilitates swift bug fixes and feature releases.
