Can we test a new React Native App which is not uploaded or published on Playstore? #835

Prashant-epam commented 8 months ago

I have started a React Native Kickstarter app which is not uploaded or published on Playstore yet. I have done the setup required for Code-push.

After running below command from terminal: appcenter codepush release-react -a <owner/appName> -d Staging

I get success response and I can also find new version listed on App Center portal.

But when I run the app on simulator, I always get response as: [CodePush] Checking for update. [CodePush] App is up to date.

Questions:

  1. Can I test codePush on react native app which is not yet published or even uploaded on playstore.
  2. Can I test Codepush on android simulator, if yes what are the steps to do so?

Hi @Prashant-epam , thank you for reaching out. The app is not required to be uploaded to store for the code-push to work. Also, it should work on simulator.

Have you configured all steps from our doc? If you believe you've set it up correctly but are still encountering issues, we would appreciate it if you could provide a demo app for us to investigate your specific scenario.
