               codePush.restartApp();
            break;
        case codePush.SyncStatus.UNKNOWN_ERROR:
        default:
            setStatus('');
            setVisible(false);
            dispatch(commonAction.showCodePush(true))
    }
};

const codePushDownloadDidProgress = (progress) => {
    setDownloadProgress(progress)
};

Android issue gets fixed when we use another package like react native restart, to force restart after update, codepush.restart() doesnt restart the android app

@Abhishek-Appstn

Hi @Abhishek-Appstn sorry for late response

We are working on adding support for rn 0.81, 0.82 :

#32
#33

It will be fixed on next version!

resolved at 10.3.0

I can confirm that even with 10.3.0 version this issue is not resolved on react native 0.80.2.

here is the patch that i applied on CodePushNativeModule.java.

replace getReactHostDelegate method at bottom of the file with below

public ReactHostDelegate getReactHostDelegate(ReactHostImpl reactHostImpl) {
Class<?> currentClass = reactHostImpl.getClass();

    // Traverse up the class hierarchy in case it's defined in a parent class
    while (currentClass != null) {
        // Get ALL fields in this class (public, private, protected)
        Field[] fields = currentClass.getDeclaredFields();

        for (Field field : fields) {
            try {
                field.setAccessible(true);
                Object value = field.get(reactHostImpl);

                // Check if this field holds the object we are looking for
                if (value instanceof ReactHostDelegate) {
                    return (ReactHostDelegate) value;
                }
            } catch (Exception e) {
                // Ignore access errors and keep looking
            }
        }

        // Move to the parent class
        currentClass = currentClass.getSuperclass();
    }

    CodePushUtils.log("Reflection failed: Could not find any field of type ReactHostDelegate in ReactHostImpl.");
    return null;
}
