Tophatting in React Native - Shopify
Sep 9, 2020

Summary
This post details the development of a tool for tophatting React Native apps. The tool stores JavaScript bundles in cloud storage, allowing developers to download them quickly instead of rebuilding the entire app. A backend service is used to manage bundle metadata and abstract third-party service interactions. The workflow involves scanning a QR code or using a bundle ID to load the new JavaScript bundle, enabling faster and more convenient peer code review.
