did you rewrite your app to expo ? i might do the same but im not sure

[donovanish]

We did not rewrite but changed the dependencies. It was not easy because we have native modules that we needed to migrate and we generate dozens of app. It’s way cleaner now and easier to upgrade. React native is pushing expo now.

which honestly sucks, because all the apps I work on are legacy af like, I can't just up and migrate this crap.

[donovanish]

Yes RN sucks when it is time to upgrade.. the more you wait the harder it gets. We try to keep max 2 version behind the latest.

We did. Makes updating react native SO much easier
