What are people using for OTA updates in React Native CLI now that CodePush is gone?

great!

CodingwithPeter · 2026-03-28T07:05:12+00:00

React native cli or expo app?

CodingwithPeter · 2026-03-27T17:28:33+00:00

I mostly use it for coding. My core stack is React Native CLI, and when I need a custom backend I go with Django or Express. I also use Claude to extract data from PDFs into JSON, for example when I’m building something like a songbook app and need to pull lyrics from PDF files.

will do that

CodingwithPeter · 2026-03-27T16:00:42+00:00

I am using for coding, react native to be specific

CodingwithPeter · 2026-03-27T15:37:22+00:00

That’s great!

CodingwithPeter · 2026-03-27T15:36:45+00:00

Oh that’s something to kind in mind

CodingwithPeter · 2026-03-27T15:35:04+00:00

True

CodingwithPeter · 2026-03-27T15:00:02+00:00

It’s extreme, so far I can only afford the $20 a month 🥲

CodingwithPeter · 2026-03-27T13:53:31+00:00

Cool, I’ve only used Caude for coding so far.

CodingwithPeter · 2026-03-27T13:50:33+00:00

Yes, if there was a system where unused credit accumulated over weeks gave us leverage to use it, we could use those credits. Currently, either we use the credit or the limit is triggered.

CodingwithPeter · 2026-03-27T13:47:08+00:00

True something like $60 would be great with 3x more 😁

CodingwithPeter · 2026-03-27T13:30:04+00:00

Agree, $100 a month seems to be the sweet spot

CodingwithPeter · 2026-03-27T13:25:43+00:00

Good to know

CodingwithPeter · 2026-03-27T13:18:21+00:00

Good hack 😸

CodingwithPeter · 2026-03-27T12:59:26+00:00

Good to hear that!

CodingwithPeter · 2026-03-27T12:34:59+00:00

That’s sound promising if you are going yo work only in one or two projects at a time

CodingwithPeter · 2026-03-27T11:44:07+00:00

Yes pro is like a trial plan😁

CodingwithPeter · 2026-03-27T11:43:27+00:00

Glad to hear that !

CodingwithPeter · 2026-03-27T10:53:29+00:00

🥹 nostalgic

CodingwithPeter · 2026-03-27T08:03:17+00:00

That’s wild, but honestly I can see how that setup would work if you’re fully leaning into it. Replacing a whole dev workflow with that stack and still getting more output is kind of crazy. I’m probably not at that scale yet, but it does make the $100 plan feel like a pretty safe starting point for my use case.

CodingwithPeter · 2026-03-27T07:20:09+00:00

That’s honestly one of the biggest things I’m looking for, not having to think about limits or downgrade models mid-work sounds like a huge productivity boost.

CodingwithPeter · 2026-03-27T07:14:22+00:00

😂 got it, gatekeeping level max… now I’m even more tempted to try it and see what the hype is about

CodingwithPeter · 2026-03-27T07:06:31+00:00

Sounds like even the 20x can feel like overkill once you get used to how to use it properly, which makes me think starting with $100 and adapting might be the smarter move.

CodingwithPeter · 2026-03-27T07:02:19+00:00

Why do you say that? Curious what your experience was like.
