Skillshub react-native-deployment

OTA updates with CodePush, EAS Build, and release configurations. Use when configuring OTA updates, EAS Build, or managing release configs for React Native. (triggers: app.json, eas.json, android/app/build.gradle, ios/**, deployment, codepush, eas, release, build, fastlane)

React Native Deployment

Priority: P2 (MAINTENANCE)

Over-The-Air (OTA) Updates

CodePush (Microsoft)

  • JS-Only Updates: Update JS bundle without app store review.

  • Staging/Production: Use separate deployments.

  • Install:

    npm install react-native-code-push

  • Limitations: Cannot update native code (Obj-C, Java, Swift, Kotlin).

  • Expo Projects: Built-in OTA updates via channels (dev, staging, prod).

  • Install:

    expo install expo-updates

Build Configurations

Expo (EAS Build)

{
  "build": {
    "development": { "developmentClient": true },
    "preview": { "distribution": "internal" },
    "production": { "autoIncrement": true }
  }
}
eas build --platform ios --profile production

React Native CLI

  • Android: Use
    productFlavors
    in
    build.gradle
    (dev, staging, prod).
  • iOS: Use Xcode schemes.
  • Fastlane: Automate builds and uploads (
    fastlane ios release
    ).

Environment Management

  • react-native-config:
    .env
    files for API URLs, keys.
  • Separate Configs:
    .env.dev
    ,
    .env.staging
    ,
    .env.production
    .

Anti-Patterns

  • No OTA for Native Changes: Requires store release.
  • No Secrets in Code: Use
    .env
    & CI secrets.
  • No Manual Builds: Automate with CI/CD.
