Using Expo OTA Updates in your React Native app
summary
Demo shows pushing a bug fix via expo publish and users get the JavaScript change after closing and reopening the app; the claim is that expo-updates brings OTA updates to any React Native app. It documents configurable check timeouts (example 3,000 ms vs zero desktop policy), uses release channels to tie updates to specific binary versions, supports GitHub Actions automation, and can host updates on private servers.
