react-native-nitro-version-check

A lightweight, fast version-checking library for React Native, powered by Nitro Modules.

A drop-in replacement for the unmaintained react-native-version-check — rewritten from scratch with Nitro Modules.

Example

import { VersionCheck } from 'react-native-nitro-version-check'

// Direct access
VersionCheck.version       // "1.2.0"
VersionCheck.buildNumber   // "42"
VersionCheck.packageName   // "com.example.app"
VersionCheck.installSource // "appstore" | "testflight" | "playstore" | "sideloaded"

// Or destructure properties
const { version, buildNumber, packageName, installSource } = VersionCheck

// Check for updates
if (await VersionCheck.needsUpdate()) {
  Linking.openURL(await VersionCheck.getStoreUrl())
}

Installation

bun add react-native-nitro-version-check

Version 2.x and newer requires Nitro 0.35+ — for earlier versions, use version 1.x
