setCohort

Usage

Use HotUpdater.setCohort() when you want to move a device into a specific numeric or custom cohort.

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

function assignQaCohort() {
  HotUpdater.setCohort("qa");
  console.log(HotUpdater.getCohort()); // "qa"
}

Behavior

• Persists the cohort on the device for future update checks.
• Accepts numeric cohorts in the range 1..1000.
• Accepts lowercase slug-style custom cohorts such as qa and vip-testers.
• Normalizes the value before storing it.
• Throws an error when the value is invalid.

Important Notes

• Call HotUpdater.getCohort() first if you need to restore the previous value later.
• Percentage rollout applies only to numeric cohorts.
• To target a custom cohort such as qa, add that value to Target Cohorts in the console.
