React Native apps have a two-layer architecture where the JavaScript bundle can be updated independently of the native binary. Over-the-air (OTA) updates exploit this to push JS changes, bug fixes, and asset updates directly to users without App Store or Google Play review. Codemagic CodePush is a hosted OTA service supporting React Native 0.76+ including the New Architecture, offering staged rollouts, analytics dashboards, automatic rollback, CI/CD integration, and SOC 2 Type II / ISO 27001 compliance. Pricing starts at $1 per 2,500 installs pay-as-you-go or $99/month per 100K MAU for larger teams. Best practices covered include staged rollouts starting at 5–10%, separate staging/production channels, pre-tested rollback plans, and post-deploy monitoring.
