App freezes in splash-screen

[Sooryaa-barberaa]

after revopush integration from the documentation, I did a revopush release-react from my local which i got success response, after that I took a release build and tired opening my app but it was stuck in the splash screen.

MainApplication.kt

package com.barberaa

import android.app.Application
import android.content.res.Configuration

import com.facebook.react.PackageList
import com.facebook.react.ReactApplication
import com.facebook.react.ReactNativeHost
import com.facebook.react.ReactPackage
import com.facebook.react.ReactHost
import com.facebook.react.defaults.DefaultNewArchitectureEntryPoint.load
import com.facebook.react.defaults.DefaultReactNativeHost
import com.facebook.react.soloader.OpenSourceMergedSoMapping
import com.facebook.soloader.SoLoader
import com.microsoft.codepush.react.CodePush

import expo.modules.ApplicationLifecycleDispatcher
import expo.modules.ReactNativeHostWrapper

class MainApplication : Application(), ReactApplication {

override val reactNativeHost: ReactNativeHost = ReactNativeHostWrapper(
this,
object : DefaultReactNativeHost(this) {
override fun getPackages(): List {
val packages = PackageList(this).packages
// Packages that cannot be autolinked yet can be added manually here, for example:
// packages.add(new MyReactNativePackage());
return packages
}

      override fun getJSBundleFile(): String {
        return CodePush.getJSBundleFile() 
       }

      override fun getJSMainModuleName(): String = ".expo/.virtual-metro-entry"

      override fun getUseDeveloperSupport(): Boolean = BuildConfig.DEBUG

      override val isNewArchEnabled: Boolean = BuildConfig.IS_NEW_ARCHITECTURE_ENABLED
      override val isHermesEnabled: Boolean = BuildConfig.IS_HERMES_ENABLED
  }

)

override val reactHost: ReactHost
get() = ReactNativeHostWrapper.createReactHost(applicationContext, reactNativeHost)

override fun onCreate() {
super.onCreate()
SoLoader.init(this, OpenSourceMergedSoMapping)
if (BuildConfig.IS_NEW_ARCHITECTURE_ENABLED) {
// If you opted-in for the New Architecture, we load the native entry point for this app.
load()
}
ApplicationLifecycleDispatcher.onApplicationCreate(this)
}

override fun onConfigurationChanged(newConfig: Configuration) {
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig)
ApplicationLifecycleDispatcher.onConfigurationChanged(this, newConfig)
}
}

PS - i did not use or integrate code-push to my app before, so i referred this
' https://github.com/revopush/react-native-code-push ' repo to integrate [Revopush SDK]

@Sooryaa-barberaa can you follow this guide and share logs:

Troubleshooting Guide: Reproducing an Issue with Revopush SDK on a Specific React Native Version

1. Create a new project using the React Native CLI. Make sure to use the CLI version compatible with your target RN version https://github.com/react-native-community/cli?tab=readme-ov-file#compatibility

npx @react-native-community/cli@15 init rn76 --version 0.76.9

2. Navigate into the project and install the Revopush SDK:

npm install --save @revopush/react-native-code-push

3. Configure the SDK for your target platform:

• iOS: Revopush iOS Setup Guide
• Android: Revopush Android Setup Guide

4. Configure the SDK in the JavaScript layer of your app (minimal setup):

import codePush from "@revopush/react-native-code-push";

class MyApp extends Component {}

MyApp = codePush(MyApp);

More details: JS SDK API

5. Install the Revopush CLI and log in:

npm install -g @revopush/code-push-cli
revopush login

More on CLI setup: Getting Started with CLI

6. Create your app in the Revopush UI or via the CLI and copy the deployment keys into your app configuration.
7. Enable logging to help identify potential issues: Debugging & Troubleshooting Guide
8. Run the app in Release mode on an emulator or real device:

npx react-native run-ios --mode Release --no-packager
npx react-native run-android --mode Release --no-packager

This ensures the app doesn't rely on the local Metro bundler and uses the deployed update instead.

9. Release an update using the Revopush CLI:

revopush release-react <APPLICATION_NAME> android -d <DEPLOYMENT_NAME> --mandatory
revopush release-react <APPLICATION_NAME> ios -d <DEPLOYMENT_NAME> --mandatory

More on releasing updates: Releasing with CLI

10. Check logs for errors or confirmation of the new release being applied.

@hamza4213 do you have details of your problem? rn versio, codepush sdk version?

@hamza4213 do you have details of your problem? rn version, code push SDK version?
@kit2o The issue I am facing is that code push works in dev mode but not when I run it in release mode, and my app gets stuck at the splash screen and doesn't crash with no errors and warnings as well.
I am using React Native v0.79.3, and after reading the documentation, I discovered that this version is currently not supported by Revopush, as it only supports versions up to 0.78.
I am now considering downgrading my React Native version to get support for this package. Are you planning to support the latest versions as well?

[aldo025]

Happened on my project too. Did integration correctly according to documentation. On local build, works fine but when using release apk it stuck on the Native Splashscreen.
I'm using RN with Expo but already ejected the native file so i think it should works (?)

RN Version: 0.76.9
Expo Version: 52.0.46
Revopush Version: 1.2.0

@aldo025 @hamza4213 do you have any crash reports from your device? maybe in Sentry?

I have checked through my logcat, but there are no crash reports regarding this, as the application gets stuck on the Splash screen, and this only happens in release modes, and the application works in Debug mode, but no errors in release mode.

My react-native version is 0.79.3, so can you confirm to me that this version is supported?

[aldo025]

Yes, i do not have any error reports too on my sentry. Take note i'm using expo but seems like its not the issue in here ?

Yes, expo isn't an issue here but one thing to note down that if I sets newArchitecture flag to false. Everything works even in release mode.

is it on Android or iOS device?

Expo is not supported yet unfortunately

[aldo025]

I know expo is not supported, but mine is ejected already. And yes, my project is also have newArch enabled. But on the documentation said that Revopush already support New Arch right ?

Same, my project is also ejected. It might be a version mismatch of react-native as they are only supporting till 0.78 yet.

@hamza4213 @aldo025 can you explain how you "eject" expo because this functionality was deprecated in expo SDK 46

Can you describe step by step how you integrate Revopush SDK into native part of expo and how you build production release?

[aldo025]

Expo prebuild, same function as eject right
