I am using react-native, and I want to add in app update to my app. At first I tried using sp-react-native-in-app-updates. But my app was closing after the update was done. "the expected behavior is to reload with the new version". So I decided to go native and use native modules to implement in-app-update.for the native approach I have followed react-native-in-app-update. But, going native did not help me and My app closes when It's done installing the update. after the app closes if I open it again. it's the updated version. but, the expected behavior for the app is to immediately reloads after installing update.

To make sure I am doing everything in the right way. I have created an app from scratch and followed the same steps and I could get the desired result. The new app was reloading after installing the update.
