Installation

Install the DOTA SDK and complete the required platform setup to enable OTA updates.

Prerequisites​

Before installing the DOTA SDK, ensure you have:

  • React Native 0.60 or higher
  • Node.js 14 or higher
  • Xcode 12+ (for iOS)
  • Android Studio with SDK 21+ (for Android)

Install the Package​

Choose your preferred package manager:

yarn add @d11/dota

Quick integration​

The simplest integration wraps your root component with the codePush higher-order component:

import codePush from "@d11/dota";

function MyApp() {
  // Your app code
  return <View>...</View>;
}

export default codePush(MyApp);

By default, this configuration:

  • Checks for updates on every app start
  • Silently downloads available updates
  • Installs updates on the next app restart
  • Forces immediate installation for mandatory updates

Update policies (optional)​

You can customize when updates are checked and applied. See the full options in Usage:

const codePushOptions = {
  checkFrequency: codePush.CheckFrequency.ON_APP_RESUME,
  installMode: codePush.InstallMode.IMMEDIATE,
};

export default codePush(codePushOptions)(MyApp);

Platform-specific setup (required)​

Complete the steps in the Platform Setup guide (Android/iOS). This is required for the app to build correctly and receive updates.

Multi-platform apps​

If you're targeting both iOS and Android:

  1. It is recommended to create separate DOTA applications for each platform in the DOTA dashboard
  2. Each platform will have its own deployment keys
  3. This allows you to manage updates independently for iOS and Android
