Controlled Mobile Rollout With React Native And Feature Flags

on YouTube ↗19m

" summary

Concrete recipe for shipping mobile features: a React Native barcode scanner wrapped in a feature flag served by Split, using Split’s SDK in JSX (SplitTreatments) so UI reads a boolean and toggles the experience without new builds. Use CodePush for JS-only fixes but not for native camera bugs, so fallback is a flag default off. Rollouts start at 5%, flag cache refreshes every 15 minutes for offline devices, and teams claim faster velocity and cheaper bug fixes.
