How to update application in background like Facebook, Instagram , Messenger is doing?


I want to know exactly what Facebook, Instagram, Messenger is doing for background Application update (App-Update)? I observed they are updating applications outside playstore is it without user intervention?


Solution

  • As Facebook, Instagram, Messenger are all hybrid apps so the code base consists of HTML, javascript and any accompanying images which are bundled together and distributed as part of a platform-specific binary(.apk /.ipa). Once published you can't change the native code(Java/Kotlin/Swift/Objective C) but you can change your CSS, javascript, and images by using Code push plugin and For react native you can use React native module of code push.
