Bonus — re-adding deps exposes weak libraries immediately. If it can't survive a clean install, it wasn't surviving the upgrade anyway. Also: don't blindly grab the latest version. Check GitHub issues before committing. #ReactNative #MobileDev #JavaScript #Programming

Upgrading in place means fighting your actual migration AND years of forgotten config at the same time. Old patches, random Gradle fixes, build settings nobody can explain. A fresh project removes all that noise.

Greenfield migration is the only React Native upgrade approach that's worked for me every time. Most recently: 0.68 → 0.81.5 The idea is simple — New RN project on the target version Copy src folder over Re-add dependencies one by one That's it.

I burned a lot of time figuring this out. Eventually found an approach that actually worked — Greenfield Migration. Will share that next if you want.

This is why a "simple version bump" takes two weeks. It's never one thing — it's the architecture shift, library compatibility, and OS changes all hitting at once.

If React Native version upgrades feel harder than they used to — you're not imagining it. Here's what actually changed 🧵

@BoazWith Exactly, I'll also share the approach that worked the best for me.

@Vipul__777 Upgrade Helper is useful for files, but it can't tell you if the app still boots cleanly. I usually check native modules, config plugins, and one real device build before trusting the upgrade.

The Upgrade Helper Trap: React Native You followed the diff. Your React Native app is still breaking. Here's why 🧵

It's still useful for small version jumps. The tool isn't broken. Your mental model of it is. #ReactNative #MobileDev #Android #RNUpgrade #JavaScript

Upgrade Helper has no idea about: ❌ Your custom native code ❌ Your third-party libraries ❌ How far your project has drifted from the vanilla template

@betomoedano @expo As a CLI dev I have so many doubts if expo will work as good as cli, I faced so many challanges while working on some native features with CLI, how will that be managed with expo.

Using @expo is like switching from Windows to macOS — once you do, there’s no going back.

@schlimmson The version upgrade was nothing less than a nightmare and now we have to deal with the new arch🫡 Good luck mates!

"Good morning. Why is your app not on the New Architecture?"

@adnansahinovich Getting difficulties in handling edge to edge in android 🙁, it's not getting that perfect!

Here’s your quick grid guide for designing mobile UI: margins, gutters, and bar sizes - all in one visual. Perfect alignment starts with proper spacing.

@adnansahinovich The myapp// scheme could be made unique not that obvious which could help a bit? And validating deep links is the end game.

React Native Security Rule #4: Never trust deep links until they're validated. Without strong validation, an attacker can take control of your app.
