OTA update delivery itself is unaffected by these changes — bundles are still compiled and pushed the same way. However, teams must verify several things before their first post-migration OTA push: CodePush SDK compatibility, native module bridge assumptions in JavaScript code, Hermes engine compatibility (stricter than JavaScriptCore), and staging environment parity. Key mistakes to avoid include assuming OTA tooling migrates automatically, skipping OTA delivery testing in staging, pushing New Architecture-specific JS bundles during the migration window when users may still be on the old native binary, and updating rollback targets before confirming production stability. Hermes bytecode is tied to the Hermes version in the native binary, so OTA bundles must be compiled against the same React Native/Hermes version as the production binary. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
