FAQPage Schema

How do I upgrade my Expo SDK version and fix dependency conflicts?▼

To upgrade an Expo SDK version, you must update the SDK and reconcile transitive dependencies. This process enforces upgrade steps, resolves breaking changes, and validates the project using prebuild, typecheck, and lint.

What is the best way to resolve React Native module compatibility issues during an Expo SDK upgrade?▼

Resolving React Native module compatibility requires dependency reconciliation to align transitive dependencies. The upgrade process applies prebuild adjustments and native module updates to ensure compatibility with the new Expo SDK.

Can I use this Expo upgrade guide for projects running SDK 53 and above?▼

Yes, the Expo upgrade guide applies to projects using Expo SDK 53 and higher. It handles React Native integrations by providing migration guidelines and validating changes through prebuild, typecheck, and lint checks.

How does prebuild validation ensure my Expo project builds after an SDK upgrade?▼

Prebuild validation ensures Expo projects build successfully after an SDK upgrade by verifying configuration changes. It runs alongside typecheck and lint validations to confirm that breaking changes and dependency conflicts are fully resolved.

Why does my Expo build fail after updating to a newer SDK version?▼

Expo builds fail after an SDK update due to breaking changes, configuration drift, and dependency conflicts. You must follow enforced upgrade steps and migration guidelines to fix native module updates and align transitive dependencies.
