DOTA Documentation

DOTA (Delivr Over-The-Air) enables seamless OTA updates for React Native applications. Push JavaScript and asset updates instantly to your users without waiting for app store approval.

What is DOTA?​

DOTA provides a complete ecosystem for managing and deploying OTA updates to your React Native apps:

  • 🚀 Instant Updates: Deploy bug fixes and features without app store delays

  • 🔌 Flexible Architecture: Plugin-based system for storage, database, and authentication
  • 📊 Full Control: Web dashboard, CLI tools, and comprehensive API
  • 🎯 Targeted Deployments: Deploy to specific user segments, versions, or environments
  • 🔒 Secure: Enterprise-grade security with role-based access control

Getting Started​

The DOTA ecosystem consists of four main components:

SDK (React Native Module)​

The React Native module that you integrate into your mobile app to receive OTA updates.

Server (Backend API)​

The core backend service that manages apps, deployments, and update delivery.

Web Panel (Dashboard)​

A modern web interface for managing applications, deployments, and monitoring releases.

CLI (Command Line Interface)​

A powerful command-line tool for deploying updates from your terminal or CI/CD pipelines.

Quick Start Guide​

  1. Install the SDK in your React Native app
  2. Set up the Server (locally or in the cloud)
  3. Create your app in the Web Panel and generate deployment keys
  4. Deploy updates using the Web Panel or CLI

Use Cases​

  • Bug Fixes: Deploy critical fixes instantly without waiting for store approval
  • A/B Testing: Test features with specific user segments
