Pear mobile OTA updates are here. `pear-mobile` and `pear-runtime-react-native` bring peer-to-peer over-the-air updates to React Native applications on iOS and Android, deployed with the same Pear CLI flow that ships terminal binaries and desktop applications. An update carries the JavaScript bundle and arrives from peers. This article covers the architecture, the version rules that keep native and OTA releases in step, and how to quickly get started.

Inspect applications by pear:// link or by path, view the file contents of remote application drives, standalone binaries, Bare bundle files, AppImage, MSIX, AppImage and tar/tar.gz files.

Ship a command as a standalone binary that updates itself peer-to-peer. swap is an applied demonstration of a peer-to-peer installable self-updating single-operation program. This is the first in our Ecosystem Spotlight series, looking at the libraries, tools and applications growing out of the Ecosystem of Pears.
