A React Native library providing over-the-air (OTA) hot update capabilities with tiny bsdiff/hdiff-based update packages optimized for Hermes bytecode. It includes a global delivery service, web dashboard with analytics and staged rollouts, CLI tools, and crash rollback safety mechanisms.

Use cases

• push hotfixes to react native apps without app store review
• ship over-the-air updates for react native
• roll out staged percentage-based releases to mobile users
• automatically roll back a broken react native update
• reduce update download size with hermes bytecode diffs
• monitor update success rates and version distribution
• debug why a device did not receive an ota update

When to choose

• you need fast OTA updates for React Native apps with minimal package sizes
• you want staged rollouts, analytics, and crash rollback built in
• your app uses Hermes bytecode or the React Native new architecture
• you need native-side recovery even when JS fails to boot

When to avoid

• you target Android RN 0.73.0–0.76.0 with the new architecture (unsupported due to upstream issues)
• you need fully self-hosted infrastructure without a paid or global service
• your app is not React Native
• you require a permissive open-source license (license is non-standard)
