Setting up the CodePush plugin

Installing the CodePush CLI pluginClick to copy link​

Install the CodePush CLI plugin so that you can use CodePush locally, on your own machines.

  1. Install the Bitrise CLI.

  2. Run the following command:

    bitrise plugin install --source https://github.com/bitrise-io/bitrise-plugins-codepush-cli.git

  3. Run the plugin:

    bitrise :codepush

Setting a custom server URLClick to copy link​

Set a different target environment for CodePush instead of the main Bitrise server. For example, you can set a staging environment as the base server URL.

There are three ways to do so:

  • Use the push command with the --server-url flag:

    bitrise :codepush push --server-url https://api.staging.bitrise.io

  • Export the $CODEPUSH_SERVER_URL Environment Variable:

    export CODEPUSH_SERVER_URL=https://api.staging.bitrise.io

  • Set the server URL during initializing with the init command. This writes the URL into the .codepush.json file:

    bitrise :codepush init --server-url https://api.staging.bitrise.io

The server URL is resolved in the following order:

  1. The --server-url flag (highest priority)
  2. The CODEPUSH_SERVER_URL environment variable
  3. The server_url field in the .codepush.json file.
  4. Default: https://api.bitrise.io
