When do I need to perform a prebuild cleanup for my Expo project?

You need to perform a prebuild cleanup for your Expo project when upgrading to a newer SDK version to clear cached native dependencies and prevent integration issues across native modules before running the build.

Can I align package versions across native modules after an Expo SDK upgrade?

Yes, you can align package versions across native modules after an Expo SDK upgrade by following guided migration notes and applying diagnostics to sync deprecated packages and resolve integration issues.
