SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you upgrade a React Native (or Expo) app to newer framework versions without missing required native, dependency, and configuration changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Upgrade workflow routing: Select the right path and prerequisites for the kind of upgrade you’re doing (core RN, Expo-paired, or React pairing).
  • Canonical diff + merge guidance: Use rn-diff-purge template diffs and Upgrade Helper to guide what changes to apply, without overwriting your customizations.
  • Upgrade safety gates: Plan dependencies, then verify iOS/Android builds and run a targeted regression checklist for navigation and device/permission behaviors.

Quick Start

Run a full React Native upgrade plan by first routing through the core workflow and then applying the focused add-ons that match your repo shape and whether you have Expo installed.

Frequently Asked Questions about upgrading-react-native

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I upgrade React Native without breaking native iOS and Android configurations?▼

To upgrade React Native safely, route through a canonical rn-diff-purge workflow that updates dependencies and reconciles iOS and Android native configuration changes. This process uses template diff merging safety rules to apply updates without overwriting your customizations.

What is the best way to upgrade an Expo SDK and React Native version together?▼

The best way to upgrade paired Expo SDK and React Native versions is to use an upgrade workflow router that selects the correct path for paired upgrades. It ensures you apply both framework and dependency changes required for the specific Expo integration.

How does rn-diff-purge help with React Native version bumps?▼

rn-diff-purge helps with React Native version bumps by providing canonical template diffs that guide exactly what native and configuration changes to apply. Upgrade Helper uses these diffs to merge updates safely without overwriting your custom app logic.

Can I use this upgrade workflow for a monorepo React Native project?▼

Yes, you can use this upgrade workflow for a monorepo React Native project by scoping the upgrade via the APP_DIR variable. This allows the dependency updates and native configuration changes to target the correct application directory.

What should I verify after upgrading React Native dependencies?▼

After upgrading React Native dependencies, you should verify iOS and Android builds and run a targeted regression checklist. This post-upgrade verification gate specifically checks navigation and device or permission behaviors on both platforms.
