Add a React Native App

Requirements

Before getting started with CodePushGo, make sure you have:

• A React Native app with an iOS bundle identifier or Android application ID
• Node.js 18 or later
• A CodePushGo account at https://codepushgo.com/register/

Note

Registration creates the account only. Plan intent is recorded inside console onboarding, after the account exists.

Guided setup

1. Open the console at https://console.codepushgo.com/app/home.

2. Log in with the CLI from your React Native project folder.

   npx @codepushgo/cli@latest login

3. Connect the app. By default the CLI detects the native app identity from Expo config, iOS PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER, or Android applicationId.

   npx @codepushgo/cli@latest init

4. Install the updater client.

   npm install @codepushgo/react-native-updater

5. Deploy a live update.

   Deploy a live update Build and upload your first React Native JavaScript bundle.

Manual setup

Use manual setup only when the CLI cannot infer the app identity.

1. Create or update the app using its native bundle ID.

   npx @codepushgo/cli@latest app add com.example.app --name "Example App"

2. Create a local config file.

   {
     "appId": "com.example.app",
     "channel": "production",
     "endpoint": "https://api.codepushgo.com"
   }

3. Configure the JavaScript updater in your app startup code.

   import { configureCodePushGo, startCodePushGo } from '@codepushgo/react-native-updater'
   
   configureCodePushGo({ endpoint: 'https://api.codepushgo.com' })
   await startCodePushGo({ defaultChannel: 'production' })

4. Upload your first release.

   npx @codepushgo/cli@latest release --platform ios --version 1.0.1 --channel production
