FireOTA
Go to console

Android setup

Load the latest verified OTA bundle in Android release builds.

Point React Native at the OTA bundle

kotlin
// android/app/src/main/java/<your/package>/MainApplication.kt  (React Native 0.76+ template)
import dev.fireota.reactnative.FireOTA

override val reactHost: ReactHost by lazy {
  getDefaultReactHost(
    context = applicationContext,
    packageList = PackageList(this).packages,
    // Release builds load the latest verified OTA bundle; debug builds keep using Metro.
    jsBundleFilePath = if (BuildConfig.DEBUG) null else FireOTA.getJSBundleFile(applicationContext),
  )
}

Which snippet do I need?

If your MainApplication calls getDefaultReactHost(context, packageList, …) — the default since React Native 0.76 — use the first tab (verified on 0.87). Projects that still override reactNativeHost use the Kotlin or Java tab.

What happens at launch

  • A pending update is promoted and must confirm the launch by reaching FireOTA.configure().
  • A bundle that reaches a second launch without confirming is rolled back to the previous one.
  • Installing a new APK/AAB from the store discards every older OTA bundle automatically.
  • Applying an update immediately performs a cold restart of the app process.
