CodePush Strategy for Beta Testing

CodePush

CodePushManager.js

import React from 'react';
import { Platform } from 'react-native';
import codePush from 'react-native-code-push';
import AsyncStorage from '@react-native-community/async-storage';

const checkIfBetaTester = async () => {
  const res = await AsyncStorage.getItem('MyApp::IS_BETA_TESTER');
  return res === 'true';
};

const codepushKeys = {
  staging: Platform.select({
    ios: 'IOS_STAGING_KEY',
    android: 'ANDROID_STAGING_KEY',
  }),
  production: Platform.select({
    ios: 'IOS_PRODUCTION_KEY',
    android: 'ANDROID_PRODUCTION_KEY',
  }),
};

class CodePushManager extends React.Component {
  componentDidMount() {
    codePush
      .notifyAppReady()
      .then(() => checkIfBetaTester())
      .then((isBetaTester) => {
        if (isBetaTester) {
          codePush.sync({
            deploymentKey: codepushKeys.staging,
            installMode: codePush.InstallMode.IMMEDIATE,
            updateDialog: true,
          });
        } else {
          codePush.sync({ deploymentKey: codepushKeys.production });
        }
      });
  }

  render() {
    return null;
  }
}

export default codePush({ checkFrequency: codePush.CheckFrequency.MANUAL })(
  CodePushManager
