# nativeapp

## Description

* Update the release status of a native application version in the Cauldron.  

## Syntax

`ern cauldron update nativeapp <descriptor>`

**Arguments**

`<descriptor>`

* A complete native application descriptor representing the native application version to update.

**Options**

`isReleased`

* **Default**  The release status is true. &#x20;

## Remarks

* The `descriptor` value should be a *complete native application descriptor*. &#x20;
* The `ern cauldron update nativeapp <descriptor> [isReleased]` command works only on a specified native application version. &#x20;
* Switching a native application version from `non released` status to `released` status changes the behavior of some commands. &#x20;
* When a native application version is released, its container is frozen and nothing can be added or removed from the container. However, you can use `CodePush` updates targeting this native application version using the `ern code-push` command.
