This allows for adding features and bug fixes without having to go through the App Store approval process. The only limitation to OTA updates for React Native is that we cannot push compiled (Objective-C or Java) code, which means the update code must be in the JavaScript layer only. There are a few popular services that provide cloud-based OTA app updates. We will be highlighting CodePush, a service by Microsoft.
