React Native Version Updater 🚀 😂

React Native Version Updater is a utility package that simplifies the process of updating version codes and version names in your React Native app's Android build.gradle file. It provides functions that can be used to automatically increment the versionCode and versionName values, making it easier to manage versioning for your Android releases. 📦

Installation

🔧 You can install React Native Version Updater using npm:

npm install --save-dev react-native-android-version-updater

Usage 📝

To use the React Native Version Updater package, follow these steps:

1️⃣ Create three script files in your project's directory:

• To update only the versionCode, create a script file named update-version-code.js with the following content:

update-version-code.js

const { updateVersionCode } = require("react-native-android-version-updater");
updateVersionCode();

• To update both the versionCode and versionName, create a script file named update-both.js with the following content:

update-both.js

const { updateBoth } = require("react-native-android-version-updater");
updateBoth();

• To update both the versionCode and versionName - major, create a script file named update-major.js with the following content:

update-major.js

const { updateMajor } = require("react-native-android-version-updater");
updateMajor();

2️⃣ Open your package.json file and add the following scripts:

"scripts": {
  "updateVersion": "node update-version-code.js",
  "updateBoth": "node update-both.js",
  "updateMajor": "node update-major.js"
},

3️⃣ How to use the scripts:

• To update only the versionCode, run: npm run updateVersion
• To update both the versionCode and versionName, run:npm run updateBoth
• To update both the versionCode and versionName - major, run:npm run updateMajor

By running the respective scripts, the build.gradle file located at android/app/build.gradle will be automatically updated.
