CodePush Server

CodePush Server is a backend that manages distribution of "hot deployments" or "over the air updates" for Cordova and React Native apps. Microsoft AppCenter has dropped support for CodePush on new Cordova & React apps already, and will discontinue support for existing apps by April, 2022. This software will allow you to host your own.

Supported Storage Options

• local storage bundle file in local machine
• s3 storage bundle file in aws
• qiniu storage bundle file in qiniu
• oss storage bundle file in aliyun
• tencentcloud storage bundle file in tencentcloud

Correct use of code-push hot update

• Both Google's and Apple's developer agreements allow the use of "hot" or "OTA" updates.
• The OS bundles are different. When using code-push-server, you must create different applications to distinguish them (eg. MyApp-ios and MyApp-android)
• The code-push app plugins only update resource files (i.e. HTML, JavaScript, CSS, images), not native code, plugins, version number, or other meta-data. So, if any of those things change, you must resubmit to the app stores.
• Every time a new version is submitted to the App Store, an initial version should also be released to code-push-server based on the submitted version. Because every time a version is released to code-push-server later, code-push-server will compare with the initial version and generate a patch version.
