Suggestion for Sidekick: Hot updates

[delanick]

Hi, would it be possible for you guys to add the ability to publish app updates to users via Sidekick, like they do in React Native's Expo platform? It would be really helpful if Nativescript apps (or those made with Sidekick) look for updated code and download it in the background and install it on next use. I'd like (and I'm really sure other developers would too) to be able to hot update my apps without going via the stores each time. Same concept as CodePush. The way Expo does it is that all code is uploaded to a repo somewhere and the app is built from that code and each time users open the app it checks that repo for updates.

PLEASE add this feature. It will solve SOOOO many hassles. I'm sick of delaying deployments to build in features I didn't think about at first - I would prefer to add them as I build them. Naturally this goes without saying: Once a new plugin is added or changes are made to config files one would have to create a new build and submit that to app stores.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
