getAppVersion

Usage

Use HotUpdater.getAppVersion() to read the app version from the native build. This is useful for diagnostics, showing version info in settings screens, and custom update logic.

import { HotUpdater } from "@hot-updater/react-native";
import { Text, View } from "react-native";

function App() {
	const appVersion = HotUpdater.getAppVersion();

	return (
		<View>
			<Text>App Version: {appVersion ?? "unknown"}</Text>
		</View>
	);
}

export default App;

Return Value

getAppVersion(): string | null

• Returns a version string when available (for example: "1.2.3").
• Returns null when the native constant is unavailable.

Behavior

• getAppVersion() is synchronous.
• The value is sourced from native app metadata:
  • iOS: CFBundleShortVersionString in Info.plist
  • Android: PackageInfo.versionName
• The native module then exposes this as APP_VERSION, and HotUpdater.getAppVersion() returns that bridged value.
• It does not make a network request.
