Goodbye Codepush — Hello Instant Updates with Stallion OTA for React Native

“Wait… I don’t need to go through App Store approvals to fix a typo?”

Yes. Welcome to the future. Welcome to Stallion.

The Big Problem

React Native is great. But updating your app?

Total nightmare.

Waiting days for App Store or Play Store review.
You break something in production — now you're panicking and pushing hotfixes.
OTA tools like CodePush exist, but feel like they were built in 2016 and haven’t aged well.

We’ve lived this. And we hated it.

So we built something better.

Introducing Stallion

https://stalliontech.io

Stallion is a fully managed Over-the-Air (OTA) update platform for React Native.

Not just an update manager. A complete platform for fast, safe, production-grade deployments — with none of the hassle.

What Stallion Gives You

Push updates instantly to your app, no app store involvement.
Test updates locally before they go live.
Rollback instantly if something breaks.
Detailed analytics to know which release worked and which one didn’t.
Team-safe environments for staging, production, and testing.
A single SDK install, and you're ready.

CodePush, But Modern

We used CodePush. You probably did too.

But maintaining it meant managing your own update server, building your own rollback logic, setting up custom versioning, and debugging strange issues with diff patches.

Stallion gives you all of that — prebuilt, polished, and managed.

And it works across both Android and iOS out of the box.

One-line install

npm install react-native-stallion

Done.

Real-World Use Cases

Your app crashes on login — rollback instantly.
You want to A/B test a new onboarding flow — push to 20% of users.
You need to update static content during a festival launch — ship it in minutes.

No new builds. No app store delays. No waiting.

Why We Built Stallion

We manage large-scale React Native apps. We built Stallion because:

CodePush didn’t scale
App store rejections slowed us down
Manual update flows caused bugs
We wanted versioning, rollback, and staging without rebuilding the world

This is the tool we wish we had years ago.

Built for You

Developers who care about velocity
Teams that want control over release pipelines
Startups shipping fast, big apps shipping safely

You should feel confident shipping.
