The React Native port of the popular Siren / Harpy Pod and eventually Gradle
npm install react-native-siren --save
react-native link
import Siren from 'react-native-siren'
const defaultOptions = {
title: 'AwesomeApp has a new update!'
}
const versionSpecificRules = [{
localVersion: '3.0.2',
forceUpgrade: true,
title: 'Update your app now',
message: 'This version contains a bug that might corrupt your data. You must update to be able to use our app.'
}]
Siren.promptUser(defaultOptions, versionSpecificRules)
// or
Siren.performCheck().then(({ updateIsAvailable }) => {
if (updateIsAvailable) {
showCustomUpdateModal()
}
})| value | Description | default |
|---|---|---|
| title | Alert title | Update Available |
| message | Alert Message | There is an updated version available on the App Store. Would you like to upgrade? |
| buttonUpgradeText | Upgrade Button Text | Upgrade |
| buttonCancelText | Cancel Button Text | Cancel |
| forceUpgrade | Hide Cancel Button | false |
There might be situations where you'd like to specify rules dynamically based on what version the device is currently running. If so, pass an array as second argument.
| value | Description |
|---|---|
| localVersion | version currently running on the device |
| title, message.. | same options as specified in the Options section |
Can't I just use CodePush?
For most things yes, and you should. Sometimes there are limitations to code-push, and you're just stuck shipping a new version when the change is significant. When code-push fails, Siren will help.
One goal of this repo is to eventually work with code-push versions along side actual version changes.
