Environment

• react-native-code-push version: 5.3.0
• react-native version: 0.54.0
• iOS/Android/Windows version: 8
• Does this reproduce on a debug build or release build? both
• Does this reproduce on a simulator, or only on a physical device? both

Other info

I tried editing the MainApplication.java to use MainApplication.this but with no luck

I tried again using :

"react": "16.3.1",
"react-native": "0.55.2",
"react-native-code-push": "5.3.2"

I found that the react-native link react-native-code-push command does not add the following line to the build.gradle file :

dependencies {
+    compile project(':react-native-code-push')
     compile fileTree(dir: "libs", include: ["*.jar"])

Maybe somehow could check why this line is not added with the react-native command

Hi @Adwich,

Thanks for reporting!
I've tested usual scenario and haven't found any issue. Your issue line(compile project(':react-native-code-push')) was added.
Could you please share your command and actions which you used for setup?

Also, this is setup documentation which can help you setup successfully: https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-code-push#getting-started

Thanks,
Alexander

Hi @alexandergoncharov ,

My project was started with react-native init. All I did was :
npm i --save react-native-code-push
react-native link react-native-code-push

I followed the doc all along. But it is working for me. It might not be a bug. Thank you for help

@Adwich , Could you please try to make one more project just for test with CodePush setup?
And if this issue is reproduced then could you please share this project with reproducing issue?
Because I can't repro this and I'm not sure what is the reason of issue. Your test project will help me to investigate it.

Thanks,
Alexander
