FAQPage Schema
How do I upgrade my Expo app to SDK 54 and the React Native New Architecture?

Upgrading an Expo app to SDK 54 requires adopting the React Native New Architecture. You must migrate to React Native 0.76+, handle React 19 changes, and resolve specific SDK breaking changes like expo-av and expo-file-system updates.

What breaking changes should I expect when migrating to React Native 0.76 and later?

Migrating to React Native 0.76+ introduces breaking changes in expo-av and expo-file-system. You must also adapt to React 19 changes and resolve common dependency incompatibilities with libraries like Redux and i18n-js during the migration.

How do I fix Fabric and TurboModules build errors after a React Native SDK upgrade?

Fixing Fabric and TurboModules build errors after an SDK upgrade requires proper New Architecture adoption. You must resolve propTypes issues and ensure correct Swift AppDelegate integration to prevent common runtime and build failures.

Is the React Native New Architecture mandatory for Expo SDK 52 and higher?

The React Native New Architecture is mandatory for Expo SDK 52 and higher. Adopting it requires handling Fabric and TurboModules integration, updating Swift AppDelegate, and resolving dependency incompatibilities to prevent runtime errors.

Why does my Expo project fail after upgrading to React 19?

Expo projects fail after upgrading to React 19 due to dependency incompatibilities. You must resolve conflicts with libraries like Redux and i18n-js, and adapt to React 19 changes alongside React Native 0.76+ SDK breaking changes.
