@hanafe/rn-release

@hanafe/rn-release is a CLI tool for managing releases of React Native projects. It helps with versioning, building, and deploying your app for both Android and iOS platforms.

This is a basic tool. More functionalities are to be added soon. For contribution contact me at [email protected]

NOTE: A previous version of this same package named rn-hanafe is now deprecated

Features

• Update package.json version automatically.
• Update Android build.gradle versionName and versionCode.
• Update iOS Info.plist CFBundleShortVersionString and CFBundleVersion.
• Build release APKs for Android.
• Build archives for iOS.
• Create Git commits and tags for releases.
• Stream-install APKs to multiple connected Android devices.

Installation

Install the CLI globally using npm:

npm install -g @hanafe/rn-release

Usage

Run the CLI using the command:

@hanafe/rn-release <command> [options]

Commands

release

Prepare and build a new release for your React Native project.

@hanafe/rn-release release [options]

Options:

• -v, --version <version>: Specify the version type (major, minor, patch) or a specific version (e.g., 1.2.3).
• -p, --platform <platform>: Specify the platform to build for (android, ios, both). Default is both.
• -t, --tag: Create a Git commit and tag for the release. Default is true.

Example:

@hanafe/rn-release release -v minor -p android

stream-install

Stream-install an APK to multiple connected Android devices via ADB.

@hanafe/rn-release stream-install

This command detects connected Android devices and installs the release APK (android/app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release.apk) on selected devices.

init

Initialize project settings (functionality to be implemented).

@hanafe/rn-release init

Interactive Mode

If no options are provided for the

release

command, the CLI will prompt you for:

• Version type (major, minor, patch, or custom).
• Platform to build for (android, ios, or both).
• Whether to create a Git commit and tag.

Example Workflow

1. Navigate to the root of your React Native project.
2. Run the

release

command:

@hanafe/rn-release release

3. Follow the prompts to update the version, build the app, and create a Git tag.

Requirements

• Node.js >= 16.0.0
• For Android builds:
  • Android SDK and Gradle installed.
• For iOS builds:
  • Xcode and command-line tools installed.
  • PlistBuddy available (comes with macOS).

Troubleshooting

• Ensure you are in the root directory of your React Native project.
• Make sure

package.json

exists in the project root.

• For Android builds, ensure the android/app/build.gradle file exists.
• For iOS builds, ensure the ios directory contains a valid .xcodeproj or .xcworkspace.
