I'm actually okay with this. It's not my app. The designers know more about UX than I do. It's not like you can change device permissions through this. I've been learning digital UI's all my life, I can handle things shifting around and changing features. I'm happy with anything that gives devs more agency over how much they can improve their product. My only worry is that it might be too easy to push updates, so less testing may go into updates because the threshold to do so is low. Kind of like what happened to video games once you could patch things.

We definitely don't want to encourage "abusing" the service by producing poorly tested updates. We're planning to do some work/docs to help incorporating a CodePush deployment into a CI workflow that can choose to rely on tests to ensure quality, and also use multiple environments to be able to manually test an update in staging before pushing it out to users.
