getCohort

Usage

Use hotUpdater.getCohort() to read the current device's cohort.

import { Text } from "react-native";

import { hotUpdater } from "./hotUpdater";

function CohortStatus() {
  return <Text>Current cohort: {hotUpdater.getCohort()}</Text>;
}

Behavior

• Returns the persisted cohort used for update checks.
• If no cohort has been stored yet, Hot Updater derives an initial numeric cohort once and persists it before returning.
• Numeric cohorts are in the range 1..1000.
• Custom cohorts such as qa or dogfood may also be returned if the app has previously called hotUpdater.setCohort().

When to use

• Show the current cohort in a debug screen
• Copy the current value into the console's Target Cohorts field
• Save the initial cohort before temporarily overriding it for QA
