FAQPage Schema
How do I upgrade Expo SDK to a new major version without breaking native modules?▼

To upgrade the Expo SDK without breaking native modules, you need to automate dependency resolution and perform native rebuilds. This ensures all configurations remain compatible and verifies stability through static code analysis and dynamic client rebuilds.

Why does my React Native app fail to start after an Expo SDK upgrade?▼

App startup failures after an Expo SDK upgrade often stem from incompatible native modules or broken Metro bundling. You can recover by resolving dependency conflicts and applying detailed native rebuild steps to restore a known good configuration.

What is the best way to automate dependency resolution for an Expo SDK upgrade?▼

Automating dependency resolution for an Expo SDK upgrade involves systematically updating packages and verifying compatibility against reference apps. This approach establishes a known good state and addresses native module compatibility challenges directly.

Can I verify native module compatibility after upgrading my React Native Expo project?▼

You can verify native module compatibility after upgrading your React Native Expo project by running static code analysis and dynamic client rebuilds. These checks ensure your post-upgrade configuration matches a known good state.

What should I do if Metro bundling breaks during an Expo SDK upgrade?▼

If Metro bundling breaks during an Expo SDK upgrade, you should follow detailed recovery steps to resolve native module conflicts and rebuild the client. This restores compatibility and ensures reliable app startup.
