[react-native][android] Deploying assets

[mhagmajer]

The documentation currently says that Android support for deploying assets within the bundle is due. Is this actively being worked on? Do we have any ETA? Thanks!

Hey @mhagmajer! There are two parts needed to make this feature work:

1. Adding support to the React Native Android platform to allow assets to be loaded from disk, as opposed to from the APK. We were able to support loading assets on iOS first because this support had already been added to iOS. We submitted a PR for the Android support, that was merged into master but unfortunately missed the 0.18 release. Hopefully, it will be included in 0.19.0-RC.
2. Adding support for updating Android assets to the CodePush plugin that is built on top of Use Https in CLI default server URL #1. We actually already have this working, so we're simply waiting for the bits in the platform to be released so that we can officially release an update to our plugin.

So the feature is essentially done, but we're simply waiting for React Native to release the needed platform support. Assuming this support goes into 0.19.0-RC, and React Native releases happen roughly every two weeks, we should be able to have this out within the next three weeks-ish?

I'm going to close this since it's a feature item that we're tracking on the React Native side, and this is the repo for the management CLI. As I mentioned, we'll be landing this feature on top of RN 0.19.0 as soon as it is released, so stay tuned! Thanks!

Cool. Thanks for the response! :)
