FAQPage Schema
How do I migrate an existing Expo app to React Native 0.76 and SDK 52?▼

Migrating an Expo app to React Native 0.76 and SDK 52 requires upgrading versions and applying codemods to handle React 19 breaking changes and the mandatory New Architecture.

What is the New Architecture in React Native and when is it required for Expo apps?▼

The New Architecture in React Native introduces Fabric and TurboModules for improved rendering, and it is mandatory for Expo apps starting from React Native version 0.82 and above.

Why does my React Native migration fail with a Fabric component descriptor not found error?▼

A Fabric component descriptor not found error occurs during migration due to improper New Architecture configuration, which requires updating Swift AppDelegate settings and correcting build configurations to resolve.

Does upgrading to Expo SDK 52 break existing libraries like expo-av and Reanimated?▼

Upgrading to Expo SDK 52 introduces breaking changes in libraries like expo-av, expo-file-system, and Reanimated v4, requiring specific code modifications to ensure compatibility with React 19 and the New Architecture.

Can I use Swift AppDelegate templates when setting up a new Expo project with the New Architecture?▼

Yes, new Expo apps with the latest React Native versions support Swift iOS template integration for the AppDelegate configuration while having the New Architecture enabled by default.
