Instant hotfix

Devices normally pick up updates on their next launch. With Firebase Cloud Messaging connected, Healkite sends one silent message and open or backgrounded apps update within seconds.

#Connect Firebase

1. In Firebase: Project settings → Service accounts → Generate new private key.
2. In Healkite: Settings → Instant updates, paste the JSON. It's encrypted at rest.

#Handle the message

import messaging from "@react-native-firebase/messaging";
import Healkite from "@healkite/react-native";

messaging().subscribeToTopic(Healkite.getPushTopic());
messaging().setBackgroundMessageHandler((m) => Healkite.handlePush(m.data));
messaging().onMessage((m) => Healkite.handlePush(m.data));

handlePush returns false for other messages, so it can sit in front of your own handlers. On iOS enable Background Modes → Remote notifications.

#Send

npx healkite release … --hotfix       # mandatory + push: devices restart into the fix
npx healkite release … --push         # push only: devices download now, apply on next launch
npx healkite push rel_… --immediate   # an existing release

Or Push now on a release in the dashboard. Pushes also go out with kill switch changes if you choose.
