getDefaultChannel

Usage

Use hotUpdater.getDefaultChannel() when you need the channel embedded in the native app, even if the app is currently using a runtime channel switch.

import { hotUpdater } from "./hotUpdater";

const defaultChannel = hotUpdater.getDefaultChannel();
console.log(defaultChannel);

Behavior

• Returns the build-time default channel configured in the native app
• Does not change when the updateBundle() helper returned by hotUpdater.checkForUpdate({ channel }) commits a runtime channel switch
• Defaults to production when no channel is configured

Example

const currentChannel = hotUpdater.getChannel();
const defaultChannel = hotUpdater.getDefaultChannel();
const switched = hotUpdater.isChannelSwitched();

console.log({ currentChannel, defaultChannel, switched });

If the app was built with production and later switched to beta at runtime:

• hotUpdater.getChannel() returns "beta"
• hotUpdater.getDefaultChannel() returns "production"
• hotUpdater.isChannelSwitched() returns true
