A React Native plugin providing client-side integration with Microsoft's CodePush service, enabling over-the-air updates of JavaScript bundles and assets without going through app stores. The CodePush service and this repository were retired and archived on March 31, 2025, along with Visual Studio App Center.
Use cases
- ship hotfixes to react native apps without app store review
- push javascript bundle updates over the air to mobile users
- roll out staged updates to different user deployments
- instantly rollback a bad mobile release
- avoid resubmitting to app stores for js-only changes
When to choose
- you maintain a legacy React Native app already using CodePush/App Center
- you need to reference the archived code or migrate away from it
When to avoid
- starting a new project - the service was retired on March 31, 2025
- React Native 0.76+ with the New Architecture, which this plugin does not support
- you need a maintained OTA update solution - consider community alternatives like self-hosted CodePush servers or Expo Updates
