# Upgrading React Native

Move an app to a newer React Native without losing days to it

## What this does

Upgrading React Native touches more than a version number: native config, dependencies, build tooling and APIs that changed underneath you. This walks the upgrade through, applying template diffs and working through the iOS and Android side. Reach for it when you are moving from one React Native version to another.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Bump the app to a newer React Native version
- Get the iOS and Android config caught up
- Deal with CocoaPods and Gradle changes

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Upgrading React Native

Upgrades React Native apps to newer versions by applying rn-diff-purge template diffs, updating package.json dependencies, and migrating native iOS and Android configuration.

It resolves CocoaPods and Gradle changes and handles breaking API updates along the way. Use it when upgrading React Native, bumping the version, or migrating an Expo SDK alongside a React Native upgrade.
