I wanted to know that when a package or library is updated in futter ,we have to manually update the version name in pubspec file. but I want to do this without even updating the app which on play store or app store. I just want to update the app dynamically.This can be done in react native and here also it may be done in flutter. Please let me know if you have any idea
Drop your comments down and let me know
Thank you
This can't be done in Flutter. React Native does it by hauling around the JS compiler. The Flutter compiler (and all the tree-shaken unreferenced classes and methods) are simply gone at release delivery time.
That's why the debug app is so much bigger than the release app. The debug app has your code, the compiler, the hot-loader, and does no tree-shaking to remove unused classes and methods.

we working with expo and using mapview, however, there are many restrictions in react native maps, as we are planning to implement turn by turn navigation. Integrating Mapbox would have been the best option, however we do not think it’s best to eject the project as expo doesn’t still support Mapbox. Although, I came across a package, react native maps navigation, I would like to know if anyone has been able to successfully implement it in their project and it functioned properly, and also know if there are any drawbacks that comes along with it. I am asking this because the author says “Please note that this module is usable but still under heavy development. Some properties and/or component names might change without notice.”
Kindly give your suggestions and advice. Thanks
Mapbox works very well in a react-native projects and recommend to use this service for your project but effectively, it don't works with expo so for me, you should eject your project to use it.
I paste here some packages I used for a GPS project (The last one is to get the current position of an user)
react-native-mapbox-gl/maps
mapbox-sdk
react-native-geolocation
Hope that could help you
I tried react native code push and it works flawlessly. Let's say I modify the text in my buttons to say something else, then with a single command, the update is sent to the users.
Now, lets say I am using a new npm library which requires some native code. Say react-native-image-picker (https://github.com/react-community/react-native-image-picker). Can code push handles this? I want the image picker functionality to be updated too in my users app. Thank you.
No - CodePush can only update JavaScript code and images.
CodePush does not update native code at all so any changes to native code require a full app build and deploy via the relevant app store or app distribution tool (e.g. HockeyApp).
Note: There are some limitations around images - full details here.
If I add a package that requires changes in the native code, like MainActivity for android, is it still possible to use codepush to update the app?
I don't think that's possible, since code-push runtime on the device can only replace the javascript part and not the native parts.
As far as I've searched it appears to be impossible to load modules (=plugins/libraries?) dynamically (I'm very new to React Native..).
What I'd like to accomplish is to let the user of the app load additional functions as she/he desires.
Example:
A user wants to add a music plugin to the app.
Intuitively, I'd long for something like dynamic library loading. The user would fetch the library, it'll be loaded into the code and can then be executed. However, in React Native it seems like there are only modules that can be loaded?
Alternatively, I'd hope that auto-updating the app would allow to add modules "on-the-fly" ( https://github.com/aerofs/react-native-auto-updater or www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-hot-load ). But I fear that this is only for JS and data content?
The ability to dynamically add functionality to the app is an essential part of the app. I have no previous experience worth mentioning in mobile app development.
Question: Is it possible to dynamically add functionality (also native in nature) to React Native apps?
If not, would there be a workaround?
EDIT: I have found the following repository on github: https://github.com/yusefnapora/react-dynamic-linking-example .
Unfortunately, without any description. I have no idea about Objective-C, but the repo name sounds promising. Anybody knows what its purpose is?
What's the easiest way to go about indexing a React Native app so that content within the app appears in Spotlight searches?
If you're still interested in indexing your app content using React Native, I've written a plugin to do just that.
As you've figured out, there's no built-in react-native support for this. The only option for you to utilize the Core Spotlight framework capabilities is to create your own native module which will expose this functionality to your react-native code. You can also try to find someone who already wrote this module and made it open source, but I guess you've already tried that.
Since this is the only way, it is also the easiest... That said, it should be pretty easy to implement it yourself, assuming you have some experience with iOS development. If you run into problems you can post your code and I can point you in the right direction if necessary.
