react-native-code-push

React Native module for deploying script updates using the Code Push service.

Installation

npm install --save react-native-code-push

After installing the React Native Code Push plugin, open your project in Xcode. Open the react-native-code-push in Finder, and drag the CodePush.xcodeproj into the Libraries folder of Xcode.

In Xcode, click on your project, and select the "Build Phases" tab of your project configuration. Drag libCodePush.a from Libraries/CodePush.xcodeproj/Products into the "Link Binary With Libraries" secton of your project's "Build Phases" configuration.

Finally, edit your project's AppDelegate.m. Find the following code:

jsCodeLocation = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://localhost:8081/index.ios.bundle?platform=ios&dev=true"];

Replace it with the following:

jsCodeLocation = [CodePush getBundleUrl];

This change allows Code Push to load the updated app location after an update has been applied.
