react-native-code-push 1.7.0-beta

v1.7.0-beta

on Node.js NPM

This release introduces the long-awaited support for updating assets on Android! This feature depends on React Native v0.19.0, so you'll need to update to that version of the platform in order to consume this CodePush release. We think it's extremely worth it though! (e.g. you get new debugging support for unhandled promises). This update is now available in NPM and can be installed immediately!

New Features (Android)

1. Deploy updates to your assets on Android via CodePush. This works exactly like it does for iOS: instead of simply uploading your JS bundle to CodePush, you upload a directory containing your bundle and assets, and everything works great. The server supports differential updates, so your end-users will only get the files that changed between releases (i.e. they won't have to download all of your assets every time you release an update). Check out the CLI docs for the release command for more details.

New Features (iOS)

1. We added a new method to the CodePush class called setDeploymentKey which allows you to dynamically set your deployment key in Objective-C, as opposed to specifying it in the Info.plist file.

Breaking Changes

1. This release depends on React Native 0.19.0, so if you choose to upgrade CodePush, then you need to also upgrade your React Native dependency.
2. The newly added install metrics feature now only reports data to the server in release builds. Therefore, if you are testing your app and want to see this data populated in the CLI, you'll need to generate a release build first. This change was made to reduce noise from the metrics that are generated during debugging.
