A React Native library that enables over-the-air (OTA) updates of the JavaScript bundle for iOS and Android apps, bypassing app store review cycles. It checks a JSON metadata file to decide whether to download a new jsbundle and applies it on subsequent launches.
Use cases
- ship react native updates without app store review
- over the air js bundle updates for react native
- reduce app update latency by downloading bundles only when changed
- speed up react native release cycles
- manage staged rollout of js bundles via metadata
- alternative to codepush for react native hot updates
When to choose
- maintaining a legacy React Native app already integrated with this library
- you need a simple self-hosted OTA update mechanism and accept unmaintained code
When to avoid
- starting a new project - the repo is explicitly unmaintained and recommends Microsoft CodePush
- you need security patches, issue support, or modern React Native compatibility
- updating native code or binary assets (only the JS bundle is updated)
