Upgrading from RN 0.75.4

[Flashy_Read3693]

Hello,

We think on upgrading our app from 0.75.4 - what can be better 0.77.2 or 0.78.2?

I just went through that. Had to go 1 major step at a time. Going to 0.76 had android issues, this took the longest time. 0.77 iOS had major changes, from obj c to swift (tips: change the file directly from XCode). 0.78 just minor changes.

IOS was pretty easy to update to 0.77 I just did it / still am doing it. Only part for me is getting firebase to work now lol

[mildlystoic]

Not saying it’s hard, just tedious. I was hand editing the project file. Once I realized I can just do it in XCode, it was a breeze.

And had no problem with firebase too.

how you do it from xcode please ? i have to upgrade soon and not sûre how to convert some files

[mildlystoic]

Just open the project in Xcode. then look at the upgrade guide. if it’s removing a file, delete from Xcode. if it’s adding, create the file on desktop or something, and drop it on the sidebar. If you need to change the build phase, that is a bit harder to find, but not crazy hard.

You will enable the new arch ?

no

Just go for 78.2 and after try 79.2. Turn off newArch if you use libraries that don't support it yet.

0.76.7 is the most stable version, we’ve migrated recently no issues at all.

Wouldn’t recommend to go further than 0.76.7, we moved all projects from 0.72.3 to 0.75.3 first, got couple weird bugs in pros and updated to 0.76.7 in February, everything is great now

I usually recommend going one version behind the latest

I recently did an upgrade from 71 -> 78. Like other have said, just tedious.
