If the app has installed a new update, will this new reloadAppAsync() method apply it? I anticipate two questions people will have are: why are there two reload methods and which one should I use?

no. reloadAppAsync() is just to reload the app. Updates.reloadAsync() will further change the loading bundle if there're newer updates. the use case is slightly different. since it's Updates.reloadAsync(), it has updates concept involved. does the name clear enough?

[ide]

I think the names are clear but also think it would be helpful in the docs for each function to explain how it is different than the other function.

tried to update here. please help to review if the description is clear

• expo/packages/expo-modules-core/src/reload.ts

  Lines 6 to 7 in 654d43c

  	* Unlike the [`Updates.reloadAsync()`](https://docs.expo.dev/versions/latest/sdk/updates/#updatesreloadasync),
  	* this function does not change the loading bundle. It only reloads with the same JavaScript bundle.

• expo/packages/expo-updates/src/Updates.ts

  Lines 142 to 143 in 654d43c

  	* Unlike `Expo.reloadAppAsync()` serving from the `expo` package,
  	* this function not only reloads the app but also changes the loading JavaScript bundle to the most recently downloaded one.

i was waiting for 0.74.1 for the changes from core and not using the reflection on android. since we may like to submit expo-go beforehand, i'm going to merge this first. later when we upgrade 0.74.1, i will remove the reflection.
