Sorry, guys. I haven't developed React Native since a long time ago, so this repo is no longer maintained.
If you still need this functionality, you can use react-native-update-apk instead.
Update apk and update from app store in React Native.
npm install react-native-appupdate --save
Note: If your react-native version < 0.40
npm install react-native-appupdate@1.0.5 --save
adding automatically with react-native link
react-native link react-native-appupdate
react-native link react-native-fs
import { Alert } from 'react-native';
import AppUpdate from 'react-native-appupdate';
const appUpdate = new AppUpdate({
iosAppId: '123456',
apkVersionUrl: 'https://github.com/version.json',
needUpdateApp: (needUpdate) => {
Alert.alert(
'Update tip',
'Finding new version, do you want to update?',
[
{text: 'Cancel', onPress: () => {}},
{text: 'Update', onPress: () => needUpdate(true)}
]
);
},
forceUpdateApp: () => {
console.log("Force update will start")
},
notNeedUpdateApp: () => {
console.log("App is up to date")
},
downloadApkStart: () => { console.log("Start") },
downloadApkProgress: (progress) => { console.log(`Downloading ${progress}%...`) },
downloadApkEnd: () => { console.log("End") },
onError: () => { console.log("downloadApkError") }
});
appUpdate.checkUpdate();
// version.json
{
"versionName":"1.0.0",
"apkUrl":"https://github.com/NewApp.apk",
"forceUpdate": false
}
