React-native-code-push: React native code push supported on WPF platform but lack of support documentation.

[piyush965]

React native code push supported on WPF platform but due to lack of documentation I had to spent lot of time to figure out how to setup Codepush on RN WPF application.

It would be helpful for the community if ReadMe document is added for how to add Codepush support on RN WPF (.NET46) application.

Environment

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

(The more info the faster we will be able to address it!)

@matthargett - Codepush integration on WPF app also require a UWP project solution which can be generated using react-native windows cmd. This info must be documented because in our case we only targeted to .NET46 and UWP project was not added to solution and had to spent lot of time to find such info.

Hi @piyush965 ,
Thanks for reporting!

Could you please clarify did you get a chance to check this doc for windows setup: https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-code-push/blob/master/docs/setup-windows.md ?
Please let me know If it isn't full for you or you have any question.

Thanks,
Alexander

@alexandergoncharov Yes I went through this document. But it no where says what are the steps to setup code push support on RN WPF application. I had to read - https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-code-push/pull/684 to follow some setup steps also along with that it requires UWP project as mentioned in my previous comment, this information is missing.

If all these steps are captured in document would be helpful for everyone.

Hi @piyush965 ,
Sorry for long delay.

Could you please clarify how exactly did you create your RN WPF application without UWP?
As I investigated RN WPF and found that it require UWP for creation.
Possible you have some specific case and I would like to try it.

Thanks,

@alexandergoncharov Thanks for the update.

It would be helpful if the setup-windows.md doc also include code push setup steps for WPF platform.
