Expo + Cordova + Vue.js exclusively for over-the-air updates?

Hi,

Is it possible to use Expo with Cordova to ship over-the-air JS updates? I work on an iOS and Android mobile app that’s built with Cordova and Vue.js. We’re looking into CodePush to enable us to ship over-the-air updates, but we’re running into strange behavior that’s giving us pause.

Is this something for which we could use Expo? Thanks in advance.

Hi @ilyakamens

I doubt anyone has tried that. I suspect it’s not possible.

Expo’s updates are specifically about Expo or React Native OTA updates.

Given that Cordova OTA updates are supposedly supported by CodePush I think that would be your best bet.

Hi @wodin,

Thanks for the reply.

Bummer!

Heh, you would think so, however Microsoft just announced they’re retiring Cordova support for CodePush (I saw the post after I had posted here).

In case anyone else finds themselves here, my team’s going to explore Appflow (by Ionic), which has a feature called Live Updates, which appears to support the OTA use-case.

While I’m here, and in case you or anyone else knows, are there other, general OTA solutions I should explore? Thanks again.
