React Native Deployment

There are two main ways to deploy an app with React Native. OTA (Over the Air) and via the App Store for whichever operating system you are deploying too (Android or IOS).

Over the air deployment is typically reserved for minor patches and small updates. It's lightweight, easy to accomplish, and happens almost instantaneously. If the user has automatic updates enabled on their device they will receive the update seamlessly.

Deployment via the app store is generally reserved for major updates and changes or first launching an app. When deploying via the app store you will need to have your code reviewed and approved which can take a few days to happen.
