Releasing updates

healkite release bundles, compiles, diffs, signs, uploads and publishes in one step.

sh

npx healkite release -p android -c <channel-key> -r 1.0.0 --sign healkite-signing.pem

Runtime versions

A release targets one runtime version: the native build it's compatible with. By default that's the app version (versionName / CFBundleShortVersionString). Ship a new store build when native code changes, and release JavaScript updates against its version.

Common options

`-p, --platform`	`ios` or `android`
`-c, --channel`	Channel key
`-r, --runtime-version`	Target runtime version
`--rollout <pct>`	Share of devices, 1–100
`--mandatory`	Apply on download instead of next launch
`-d, --description`	Release notes shown in the dashboard
`--sign <pem>`	Sign with your key (or `HEALKITE_SIGNING_KEY` / `HEALKITE_SIGNING_KEY_PATH`)
`--guarded`	Guarded rollout
`--at`, `--until`, `--device`	Schedules & targeting
`--hotfix`, `--push`	Instant hotfix
`--experiment`, `--metric`	A/B experiments
`--max-size`, `--max-growth`	Size budget (see below)
`--patch-from <n>`	Diff against the last N bundles (default 3, `0` disables)
`--no-hermes`	For JSC apps
`--project`, `--entry-file`	Monorepos and custom entries

Patches

Healkite makes binary diffs from your last three distinct bundles on the same target. A device on one of those gets the patch (usually a few KB); anyone else gets the full bundle. Patches are verified like bundles.

Bundle size guard

sh

npx healkite size -p android -c <channel-key> -r 1.0.0 --max-growth 10

Prints the size and the change vs the latest release, and exits non-zero over budget. release takes the same --max-size 2MB / --max-growth 10 flags and stops before uploading.

Promote between channels

Test on staging, then publish the exact same bundle to production: the Promote button on a release in the dashboard, the promote_release MCP tool, or:

sh

npx healkite codepush promote "My App" staging production -p android -r 25

Managing releases

sh

npx healkite releases -c <channel-key> -p android
npx healkite patch rel_… --rollout 50
npx healkite patch rel_… --disable
