upgrading-react-native

Orchestrates React Native version upgrades with template diffs, dependency resolution, and native platform migration. Applies canonical rn-diff-purge template diffs to align native iOS and Android configuration with target React Native versions Handles package.json dependency updates, CocoaPods and Gradle changes, and breaking API migrations across major and minor version bumps Includes Expo SDK upgrade layer for managed Expo projects and post-upgrade verification checklist Provides structured workflow routing: choose upgrade path, fetch diff, assess dependencies, align React version, validate builds on both platforms

INSTALLATION
npx skills add https://github.com/callstackincubator/agent-skills --skill upgrading-react-native
Run in your project or agent environment. Adjust flags if your CLI version differs.

SKILL.md

$2b

Example: upgrading from 0.76.9 to 0.78.2

1. Fetch the template diff

curl -L -f -o /tmp/rn-diff.diff

"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/react-native-community/rn-diff-purge/diffs/diffs/0.76.9..0.78.2.diff"

&& echo "Diff downloaded OK" || echo "ERROR: diff not found, check versions"

2. Review changed files

grep -n "^diff --git" /tmp/rn-diff.diff

3. Update package.json, apply native changes, then install + rebuild

npm install --prefix "$APP_DIR"

cd "$APP_DIR/ios" && pod install

4. Validate: both platforms must build successfully

npx react-native build-android --mode debug --no-packager

xcodebuild -workspace "$APP_DIR/ios/App.xcworkspace" -scheme App -sdk iphonesimulator build

## When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

- Moving a React Native app to a newer version

- Reconciling native config changes from Upgrade Helper

- Validating release notes for breaking changes
