Stop building your modular mobile app the slow way

Your CI pipeline worked fine when the app was young. Then the app grew. Features got split into modules. Teams formed around those modules. And somewhere along the way, what used to be a 4-minute build became a 25-minute one. Then 35. Now nobody pushes to main before lunch because the queue is already backed up. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone. According to Google’s 2024 Developer Survey, 83% of Android apps over 500,000 lines of code struggle with build performance.

Over-the-air (OTA) updates are one of the most powerful tools available to React Native teams. The ability to push changes directly to users’ devices without App Store review, without Google Play approval, without any action required from the user, meaningfully changes how fast a team can respond to bugs and iterate on their product. But OTA updates operate within clear boundaries. Misunderstanding those boundaries leads to two distinct problems.

CodePush is a great way to ship over-the-air (OTA) updates, avoid app store approval delays, and roll out changes cautiously. Even though App Center has closed down, there are many options available to get started with CodePush.

May 13, 2026 By Codemagic In Codemagic
There is a specific kind of dread that comes with finding a critical bug in a production React Native app. The fix is usually straightforward: a broken API call, a logic error, a UI state that did not account for an edge case. You can see exactly what went wrong and exactly how to correct it. The code change might take an hour. What takes days is everything that comes after. App Store review. Google Play review. Waiting.
