Ability to switch OTA updates release channel in runtime (Bare workflow)

George Khromchenko

It would be nice for QA if we can load update for any release channel and switch release channel in runtime.
For example, I can publish each pull request in separated release channel and make QR code for each pull request.
It is possible in managed workflow and Expo client.

This feature is pretty important for us.

We don't want to deploy updates directly to the users, the QA team is supposed to check the work before we publish are release. We integrated codepush at the moment because it is providing this feature. However, having codepush on a expo app is complex and we want to switch to expo updates if such feature is implemented.

hehe

That would be great to have it.

It will unlock the ability to build our own expo-like client with this dynamic release channel (or allow to append our custom request header).
