What problem does it solve?

Upgrading Expo SDK versions and resolving breaking changes and dependency conflicts can be error-prone and time-consuming. This Skill provides a structured, repeatable approach to upgrade paths, compatibility checks, and post-upgrade validation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided upgrade pathway: step-by-step plan for upgrading Expo, React Native, and related tooling with attention to migration notes and breaking changes.
  • Dependency management: guidance on using expo install, compatibility checks, and prebuild/postbuild tasks to ensure projects stay green.
  • Use Case: When moving a project from SDK 53 to 54 or 54 to 55, follow the upgrade checklist to minimize build failures and ensure new architecture readiness.

Quick Start

Run the upgrade workflow by executing: npx expo install expo@latest, npx expo doctor, and follow the cache cleanup steps to validate the upgrade.
