• The hardcoded timeout value 12000 is a magic number. Consider extracting this to a named constant with a descriptive name that explains why this delay is necessary.

outside scope of this pr, but I wonder if there is a way to get errors at type check time or with eslint when we use a native module without a platform check.

[brainbicycle]

the code and experience looks really great and good to have the capability!

I am wondering what our policy should be about using this? maybe a discussion for mobile practice or a separate meeting?

Nice one! LGTM as well. Let's discuss how aggressive we want to be with this

The home screen takes no more than 3 seconds to load - so we can maybe decrease this

[MrSltun]

I tried 5,7, and 10, and the update prompt shows up so quickly that before the homescreen loads 😅 so I went with 15 and was too long, so I ended up with 12 and it was perfect

oki, thanks.

Adds Android In-App Updates via the Play Core app-update library: native checkForAppUpdate/completeAppUpdate bridge methods on MainActivity, an onAppUpdateDownloaded event, and a usePromptForUpdate hook wired into HomeView that shows a "Reload to apply" toast. The Android flow looks solid. A few notes inline: the iOS completeAppUpdate shim has a bug, and the new hook has no test coverage or timer cleanup.

[claude]

This calls console.error at import time and assigns its return value (undefined) to completeAppUpdate. ArtsyNativeModule is imported at app startup, so every iOS launch logs "completeAppUpdate is unsupported on iOS" even when the method is never called, and ArtsyNativeModule.completeAppUpdate is undefined rather than a callable no-op. Wrap it in a function like checkForAppUpdate above.

Suggested change

	: NativeModules.ArtsyNativeModule.completeAppUpdate,
	completeAppUpdate:
	Platform.OS === "ios"
	? () => {
	console.error("completeAppUpdate is unsupported on iOS")
	}
	: NativeModules.ArtsyNativeModule.completeAppUpdate,

[claude]

🟢 The 12s timer isn't cleared on unmount. If the user leaves Home before it fires, checkForAppUpdate still runs (and the whole flow re-arms every time Home remounts). Keep the id and clear it in the cleanup alongside eventListener.remove():

Suggested change

	setTimeout(() => {
	// delay prompt until homescreen loads
	ArtsyNativeModule.checkForAppUpdate()
	}, 12000)
	const timeoutId = setTimeout(() => {
	// delay prompt until homescreen loads
	ArtsyNativeModule.checkForAppUpdate()
	}, 12000)

Then add clearTimeout(timeoutId) to the returned cleanup.

🟡 No test covers this hook. Worth one that mocks ArtsyNativeModule and asserts: on Android the toast shows when updateDownloaded is true and when the onAppUpdateDownloaded event fires, the toast CTA calls completeAppUpdate, and nothing runs on iOS. That would also have caught the completeAppUpdate shim bug flagged in ArtsyNativeModule.tsx.
