React Native Update Integration

Overview

Use this skill to get a project from “not integrated” to “hot update works in release builds”. Prioritize copy-paste-safe steps, smallest viable changes, and explicit verification checkpoints.

Workflow

1. Detect app type (React Native CLI vs Expo) and target platforms.
2. Apply dependency/install steps from references/integration-playbook.md.
3. Apply required native config (Bundle URL / MainApplication integration points).
4. Add Pushy client + UpdateProvider minimal bootstrapping.
5. Run scripts/integration_doctor.sh <app-root> to detect common misses.
6. Return a short action list: done / missing / next verification.

Platform routing

• If user context is OpenClaw: provide OpenClaw-first instructions and file/workspace conventions.
• If user context is Claude Code: provide Claude Code-first command style and workflow wording.
• If context is unknown: provide neutral steps first, then append OpenClaw/Claude Code notes.
• Keep technical steps identical; only adapt command conventions and delivery style.

Guardrails

• Keep user code changes minimal and localized.
• Do not promise hot update works in debug mode; emphasize release verification.
• Warn about expo-updates conflict in Expo projects.
• Preserve existing app architecture; adapt snippets to current project style.
• If native files differ heavily (monorepo/mixed native), provide targeted patch guidance instead of broad rewrites.

Outputs to provide

• Minimal integration diff (exact files and snippets).
• Verification checklist (build, check update, download, switch version).
• Troubleshooting hints for common failures.
• Scenario examples when requested (including class component integration and custom whitelist rollout).

Resources

• Read references/integration-playbook.md before giving steps.
• Use scripts/integration_doctor.sh for quick project diagnosis.
