react-native-ota-hot-update

This React Native module allows you to manage hot updates with minimal configuration, similar to Code Push. You can control versioning and host the JS bundle yourself. The library handles the installation of updates after the bundle is downloaded from your server or Git repository. With Code Push retiring soon, this library gives you full control over your update process, whether hosting the bundle on your own server or in a Git repository.

New architecture supported

New architecture backward compatibility supported from version 2, it also supported old architecture, for source code of version 1.x.x please refer to branch oldArch, you might need install version 1.x.x if you are using react native < 0.70

Installation

if you don't want to manage the download progress, need to install blob util together:

yarn add react-native-ota-hot-update && yarn add react-native-blob-util

Auto linking already, need pod install for ios:

cd ios && pod install

IOS

Open AppDelegate.m and add this:

#import "OtaHotUpdate.h"
...
{
#if DEBUG
  return [[RCTBundleURLProvider sharedSettings] jsBundleURLForBundleRoot:@"index"];
#else
  return [OtaHotUpdate getBundle]; ## add this line
#endif
}

For downloading in background mode on IOS, following this (optional):

AppDelegate.h:

@property (nonatomic, assign) UIBackgroundTaskIdentifier taskIdentifier;

AppDelegate.mm:

- (void)applicationWillResignActive:(UIApplication *)application {
   if (self.taskIdentifier != UIBackgroundTaskInvalid) {
      [application endBackgroundTask:self.taskIdentifier];
      self.taskIdentifier = UIBackgroundTaskInvalid;
   }

   __weak AppDelegate *weakSelf = self;
   self.taskIdentifier = [application beginBackgroundTaskWithName:nil expirationHandler:^{
      if (weakSelf) {
          [application endBackgroundTask:weakSelf.taskIdentifier];
          weakSelf.taskIdentifier = UIBackgroundTaskInvalid;
      }
   }];
}

Android

Open MainApplication.java/kt and add these codes bellow:

import com.otahotupdate.OtaHotUpdate
...
override fun getJSBundleFile(): String? {
    return OtaHotUpdate.bundleJS
}

Open AndroidManifest.xml :

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

<application ... android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"

That's it, can check the example code

Remember hot update just work at release mode, debug mode won't working

Control Hot Update via Server

With this method, you can host the bundle JS on your own server. The app fetches the updates directly from the server, allowing for dynamic updates.

For detailed instructions on how to implement this, refer to DOC_OTA_SERVER.md.

Control Hot Update via Git Repository

This method allows you to use a Git repository to host the bundle JS. The app pulls updates directly from the repository, providing an easy and version-controlled way to manage updates.

For detailed instructions on how to implement this, refer to DOC_OTA_GIT.md.
