The `expo-updates` module enables your app to manage remote updates to your application code.

This module works with a server that implements the [Expo Update protocol](https://docs.expo.dev/technical-specs/expo-updates-1/).

The [EAS Update](https://docs.expo.dev/eas-update/introduction/) hosted service implements this protocol.

To build a custom server that implements the protocol, see the example server source code [here](https://github.com/expo/custom-expo-updates-server).
