Migration Guide & Issues

How to migrate from React Native X to 0.60.x

  1. For more fast upgrade use Upgrade Helper. Just select your total RN version and target RN version. Implement diff changes into your application https://react-native-community.github.io/upgrade-helper/

  2. Need to disable auto linking. Add into react-native.config.js

module.exports = {
 dependencies: {
   'react-native-fbsdk': {
     platforms: {
       android: null,
       ios: null,
     }
   }
 }
}
  1. Also read this additional information

  1. For build Android before building app use Jetify. Run
npx jetify

npx react-native run-android
