SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Migrating React Native projects from 0.79.x to 0.83.x commonly introduces breaking changes and configuration drift; this skill provides expert migration guidance, automated detection of issues, step-by-step fixes, and validation to ensure a smooth upgrade.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated detection of breaking change patterns across Android native code, MainApplication.kt, and third-party modules.
  • Guided migration workflow with pre-migration analysis, automated checks, actionable fixes, and dependency updates.
  • Validation & verification including build cleanups, platform-specific checks, and runtime readiness for Android and iOS.
  • Use Case: Apply to a large RN project with native modules and MMKV usage to upgrade safely while preserving app behavior.

Quick Start

Start the migration by running the RN upgrade assistant for 0.79.x to 0.83.x and follow prompts to perform analysis, apply fixes, and validate the build.

FAQPage Schema
How do I migrate React Native from 0.79 to the latest version?

To migrate React Native from 0.79 to 0.83, you need to apply automated detection and guided fixes for breaking changes in Android native modules, MainApplication.kt, and dependencies. The workflow enforces pre-migration analysis, dependency updates, and build validation.

What breaking changes do I need to fix when upgrading React Native 0.79 on Android?

Upgrading React Native 0.79 on Android requires fixing breaking changes in MainApplication.kt, refactoring custom native modules, and updating third-party dependencies. The migration process uses automated detection to identify these issues and provides actionable fixes.

Can I use an automated workflow to upgrade a large React Native project with custom native code?

Yes, this migration workflow is designed for large React Native projects with custom native code. It performs pre-migration analysis, automates detection of configuration drift, and guides you through platform-specific build validation for both Android and iOS.

What is the best way to validate a React Native 0.83 migration after applying code fixes?

The best way to validate a React Native 0.83 migration is by performing clean builds and running platform-specific checks for Android and iOS. The workflow enforces these validation checks to ensure runtime readiness and confirm all automated fixes applied correctly.

Why does my React Native 0.83 build fail after upgrading from 0.79?

React Native 0.83 build failures after upgrading from 0.79 usually stem from configuration drift or outdated Android native modules. Running a clean build and using automated detection helps identify remaining breaking changes in MainApplication.kt or third-party libraries.
