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?▼
