react-native-code-push 1.7.2-beta

v1.7.2-beta

on Node.js NPM

This is a bug fix release which addresses some key user-reported issues. It is now available on NPM and can be updated immediately by running npm i --save react-native-code-push@latest.

Bug Fixes (General)

1. We saw a few cases where apps were inadvertently calling the sync method multiple times concurrently (e.g. they called sync in componentDidMount as well as an AppState change handler), which had the potential to put the app in a weird state. Now, when sync is called, and a previous sync call is still in progress (e.g. an update is downloading), it will resolve the promise with a new sync status of SYNC_IN_PROGRESS. That way, we can safeguard the runtime from getting into a bad state, while still providing the app with an indication of why each sync call completed.

Bug Fixes (iOS)

1. If a developer's desktop clock wasn't synchronized with their testing device (i.e. it was significantly ahead of it), it would be possible to hit an issue where your app downloads a CodePush update, but after restart, continues to use the JS bundle that was shipped with the binary. This was because the [CodePush bundleURL] logic saw that the binary bundle was newer than the CodePush update, and therefore, gave it precedence. We no longer rely on this time-based heuristic for detecting whether to use the binary or CodePush update on app start, and therefore, this issue would no longer be possible in the rare cases that we saw it.

Bug Fixes (Android)

1. We removed the superfluous NDK config from our build.grade file (we don't have any C++ code!), which was causing compilation errors for apps that use both the NDK and CodePush.
