Options for integrating OTA updates with rock.js / rnef

[bogdanmatasaru]

Hi,

I’m currently using rock.js / rnef to embed React Native in a brownfield iOS/Android app and I’d like to enable over-the-air (OTA) JS bundle updates.

What are the recommended approaches for OTA updates in this setup?
• Is there any official support or guidance for integrating with existing solutions like CodePush or expo-updates?
• If not, is there a suggested pattern for implementing a custom OTA update service (self-hosted bundles + manifest) that works well with rnef’s bundleURL() approach?
• Are there any caveats when using these options in combination with rock.js/xcframeworks?

Thanks!

Currently your best choice is https://hot-updater.dev which has official Rock integration. @gronxb does a great job maintaining this project, it's actively developed and maintained. Should work in both Greenfield and Brownfield setups
