CodePush not reaching android? Bad Configuration?

[natdm]

Not sure if my configuration is wrong or what.

React Native .42
CodePush ^1.16.1-beta

Here is my MainApplication.java:

public class MainApplication extends NavigationApplication implements ReactApplication {
    @Override
    public boolean isDebug() {
        // Make sure you are using BuildConfig from your own application
        return BuildConfig.DEBUG;
    }

    @Override
    public List<ReactPackage> createAdditionalReactPackages() {
        // Add the packages you require here.
        // No need to add RnnPackage and MainReactPackage
        return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
          new CodePush("REDACTED", MainApplication.this, BuildConfig.DEBUG),
          new LockReactPackage(),
          new VectorIconsPackage()
      );
    }

  private final ReactNativeHost mReactNativeHost = new ReactNativeHost(this) {

    @Override
    protected String getJSBundleFile() {
      return CodePush.getJSBundleFile();
    }

    @Override
    public boolean getUseDeveloperSupport() {
      return BuildConfig.DEBUG;
    }

    @Override
    protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
      return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
          new MainReactPackage(),
          new CodePush("REDACTED", MainApplication.this, BuildConfig.DEBUG)
      );
    }
  };

  @Override
  public ReactNativeHost getReactNativeHost() {
    return mReactNativeHost;
  }

  @Override
  public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
    SoLoader.init(this, /* native exopackage */ false);
  }
}

My settings.gradle contains:

include ':react-native-code-push'
project(':react-native-code-push').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-code-push/android/app')

My android/app/build.gradle contains at the top:

apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native/react.gradle"
apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native-code-push/android/codepush.gradle"

When I run code-push release-react bideasy_rn android -m && code-push promote bideasy_rn Staging android, it does not seem to update my application. (note: this app does not read from Production, rather ios and android so I can push separately)

I have the same application working on iOS with codePush so it's not the javascript side that's wrong, as far as I can tell. It's supposed to update on app awake, but it's not working. I'm running a release build on the emulator but it's not pulling.

Client code, for kicks:

codePush.sync({ updateDialog: false, installMode: codePush.InstallMode.IMMEDIATE });

Hi @natdm, thank you for reaching us. Could you please execute code-push debug android command and share output with me?
It seems like you've got The CodePush module doesn't appear to be properly installed. Please double-check that everything is setup correctly. error. To fix it please try to remove new CodePush("REDACTED", MainApplication.this, BuildConfig.DEBUG) line from protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() { and let me know if any updates.

[natdm]

There's no output for code-push debug android.

I do have this in the console, I just realized:

logging.js:3[CodePush] An update is available, but it is being ignored due to having been previously rolled back.
logging.js:3[CodePush] App is up to date.

This doesn't happen with iOS.. and it doesn't show any installs or rollbacks in the cli

Got some debug logs:

[06:54:03] An unknown error occurred.

This is after:

1. Deleting the line you asked me to delete
2. Staging and promoting my application
3. Restarting android app

[sergey-akhalkov]

@natdm, please also add

    @Override
    protected String getJSBundleFile() {
      return CodePush.getJSBundleFile();
    }

method to the MainApplication class and let me know if any changes.

[natdm]

It's already in there.

[sergey-akhalkov]

@natdm,

It's already in there.

Could you please clarify - have you added getJSBundleFile method directly in MainApplication, not in the ReactNativeHost:

public class MainApplication extends NavigationApplication implements ReactApplication {
    @Nullable
    @Override
    public String getJSBundleFile() {
      return CodePush.getJSBundleFile();
    }
    ...
}

[natdm]

So I added that to the MainApplication directly as you stated. I had to take out @Nullablefor it to compile, though. It'll compile and crash -- my guess is something to do with no @Nullable? (not a big Java developer..)

If I don't take that out, I get this error:

/Users/nathanhyland/reactnative/appname/android/app/src/main/java/com/appname/MainApplication.java:21: error: cannot find symbol
    @Nullable

When I push updates now (without @Nullable), I see this:

@natdm, I've just tried to use CodePush with react-native-navigation module and it works well for me:

1. Copy https://github.com/wix/react-native-navigation/tree/master/example
2. Install CodePush
3. Change MainApplication.java file like this:

public class MainApplication extends NavigationApplication {
   @Override
   public boolean isDebug() {
       return BuildConfig.DEBUG;
   }

   @Nullable
   @Override
   public String getJSBundleFile() {
     return CodePush.getJSBundleFile();
   }

   @Nullable
   @Override
   public List<ReactPackage> createAdditionalReactPackages() {
       return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
         new CodePush("kbWUqemN-getsFnDL8D0thDFKXtSNJramkK7f", MainApplication.this, BuildConfig.DEBUG)
     );
   }
}

4. Change this line to:

import CodePush from 'react-native-code-push';

// register all screens of the app (including internal ones)
export function registerScreens() {
  Navigation.registerComponent('example.FirstTabScreen', () => CodePush(FirstTabScreen));
  ...
}

Please look at myapp and verify if it works for you.

@natdm, closing this for now, please feel free to reopen if needed.
