Assume a scenario where I had published my app (which has been built with React Native) to Appstore/Playstore. Is it possible for me to stream new changes to the app without doing a new release (by this I mean a new version release).
Also if you guys came across any article related to React Native's app publishing process do share me.

OTA updates are one of the big advantages of hybrid apps over native ones. They allow you to quickly deploy a new app version that bypasses the App Store and Play Store review processes. Why Microsoft CodePush, you ask? Because I couldn't find any other provider of a similar service for React Native.
Originally, Facebook only developed React Native to support iOS. However, with it's recent support of the Android operating system, the library can now provide mobile UIs for both platforms. Facebook used React Native to develop its own Ads Manager app, creating both an iOS and an Android version.
While CodePush is in beta, it will remain completely free to use, with absolutely no limits (e.g. # of apps, size of release assets). Additionally, even after the service “RTMs”, there will always be a free tier.
There is one startup that is working on such product: AppHub Discussions about possible caveats you can find here
If you want to build it yourself you can try to implement something similar
Update: There is free offering from Microsoft for Cordova and React Native projects - CodePush
