Hi @diegolmello ,

I’ve been thinking about how we handle app updates and wanted to suggest using EAS Updates(https://docs.expo.dev/eas-update/getting-started/) (or CodePush) in combination with OTA. For minor bug fixes and improvements, we could push updates directly to users without requiring an app store update. This would speed up the release of small patches and improve the overall user experience.

Here is the document explaining how the EAS update works: https://docs.expo.dev/eas-update/how-it-works/

We could still rely on App Store updates for major changes that involve native code. Additionally, we could integrate a version-checking mechanism (like the one in the sp-react-native-in-app-updates library) to prompt users to update when needed.

What do you think?

EAS Updates is not a free service and CodePush is scheduled to shut down on 31st March.

I have created a PR (6233) for checking update from store using sp-react-native-in-app-updates and the only thing left is showing the demo which requires me to publish an active update in store (which i am planning to do for my app around month end, only after that i can provide a video)

Thanks @JASIM0021!
Have you read #6233? You should pay attention to the rest of the community.

I've heard EAS is quite expensive, but I'm aware there's an option to host it.
