CodePush retirement on March 31 2025

HI @GSTJ and @deggertsen I've send an email to Microsoft support about what they will do about CodePush, ¿do you know about any other alternative without using Expo updates?

[GSTJ]

Sad news, indeed.

My recommendation is to self-host an Expo Server and use Expo Updates.

Codepush also provides self-hosting options during their departure, but these will be likely unmaintained, so they're not the best option.

Yup, I know about the open specification for Expo updates, but, ¿do you know of a PHP implementation?

I'm waiting for Microsoft to follow up with me on the codepush codebase. I'm not sure what they are planning, but they told me "Hello David, we will provide access to the CodePush repository, once the process is complete I will follow up."

So I'm waiting to hear back from them.

Ok, lets use this issue to follow up this matter

I followed up with them again and they got right back to me saying "We still don't have an ETA, but I will follow up soon, thanks!"
