getCohort

The `HotUpdater.getCohort()` function returns the persisted cohort used for rollout decisions.

Usage

Use HotUpdater.getCohort() when you want to inspect which cohort the current device belongs to.

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

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

getDefaultChannel

The `HotUpdater.getDefaultChannel()` function returns the build-time default channel embedded in the app.

setCohort

The `HotUpdater.setCohort()` function overrides the persisted cohort used for rollout decisions.
