AppHub vs CodePush: What are the differences?

Key Differences between AppHub and CodePush

1. Deployment Process:

AppHub requires a manual deployment process where developers need to upload the updated code manually to the platform, while CodePush offers an automated deployment process that enables developers to push updates directly to the devices without any manual intervention.

2. Integration Complexity:

AppHub requires developers to integrate a new SDK into their mobile application, which may add complexity to the codebase. On the other hand, CodePush integrates seamlessly with the existing React Native or Cordova projects, making it easier and quicker to implement.

3. Update Control:

AppHub provides developers with more granular control over updates, allowing them to target specific users or groups for testing purposes before rolling out updates to the entire user base. In contrast, CodePush applies updates to all users simultaneously, without providing options for targeted rollouts.

4. Offline Support:

With AppHub, applications can work offline seamlessly as it stores the whole bundle locally on the device. However, CodePush only stores the updated parts of the bundle, which means that applications using CodePush might not have complete offline support.

5. Security Measures:

AppHub offers additional security measures like code signing and public/private key encryption to ensure the authenticity and integrity of the code updates. CodePush, on the other hand, relies on the existing security measures implemented in the app store platforms.

6. Cost Structure:

AppHub follows a tiered pricing structure based on the number of monthly active users, which means higher costs for applications with a larger user base. CodePush, being an open-source framework, does not have any direct costs associated with its usage.

In Summary, AppHub requires manual deployment, has more complex integration, offers targeted rollouts and offline support, provides additional security measures, and has a tiered pricing structure. On the other hand, CodePush offers automated deployment, seamless integration, simultaneous updates for all users, partial offline support, relies on existing security measures, and is free to use.

    What is AppHub?

    Designed to give app developers a new way of deploying and updating apps, AppHub allows users to change their app on the fly. Deploys across iOS, Android, desktop and web.

    What is CodePush?

    CodePush is a cloud service that enables Cordova and React Native developers to deploy mobile app updates directly to their users’ devices. It works by acting as a central repository that developers can publish certain updates to (e.g. JS, HTML, CSS and image changes), and that apps can query for updates from (using our provided client SDKs).
