BBS 15 - Juggling JS Bundles

You can find us on https://brainsandbeards.com/

Key Moments:

• React Native allows separating native app skeletons from JavaScript business logic bundles, providing opportunities for faster updates without app store reviews.
•  Code pushing allows remotely delivering JavaScript bundle updates to users without app store reviews.
• Bundles can be replaced on the fly to test features before merging code.
• Developers can validate work locally before merging to avoid broken builds.
• Multiple bundles can be hosted for different teams to test features independently.
• Bundles are detected and restricted to avoid crashes from incompatible native changes.
• Build times increase significantly with large apps, slowing down testing.
• Automation saves developer frustration from manual tasks and support burdens.
• Infrastructure costs for hosting bundles can be reduced by building custom solutions.
• Remote bundle loading allows selecting different bundles from an in-app menu for testing.
