Appcircle CodePush and Native Update
Appcircle puts React Native OTA updates inside the same platform that builds and distributes the app, including on Kubernetes or OpenShift. We don't build your app at all, and we don't serve that stack.
What this means for you
Native Update serves Capacitor only today. React Native, Flutter and native packages are not available yet, so there's no migration to walk through and we won't pretend otherwise.
Your current app stays where it is. This page is useful in one case: your next app, or a rewrite, is Capacitor. Then start with Installation, ship your first update, and read how signing works.
