expo-dependency-check

To check Expo dependencies, run a package-manager-prefixed command like `expo install --check` to report incompatible versions against the installed Expo SDK. This validates dependencies after manual package.json modifications.

Fix incompatible Expo package versions by running `expo install --fix` with the correct package manager prefix. This updates packages to compatible versions while preserving other project files.

A dependency checker detects the package manager by inspecting lock files in the project directory, such as bun.lock, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, or package-lock.json, and uses the matching command prefix.

Automated dependency checks apply only to Expo and React Native projects that include expo in package.json or have Expo config files present, ensuring the project uses the Expo SDK before running validation.

Upgrading a library in package.json causes Expo runtime errors when the new version is incompatible with the installed Expo SDK. Validating dependencies with an install check aligns package versions and prevents build failures.

The best way to verify package compatibility without modifying other files is running a check-only mode using `expo install --check`, which reports incompatible versions while preserving the rest of the project.
