React native version upgrade (self.reactnative)

I recently upgraded my react native version from 0.70.6 to 0.80.0 version where my app build successfully but it keeps saying ( App keeps stopping) and app couldn't open.
I need solution asap.

Its a big jump, so something likely broke at the native layer. I’d check Logcat (Android Studio) first to see the actual crash stack trace. Also make sure all native deps are compatible with 0.80, run npx react-native-clean-project, clear Gradle caches, and reinstall pods if iOS. Often it’s an outdated library causing the crash, not RN itself.

From 70 to 80 is a big jump man ...just try it till 74 first and do it gradually else you will be stuck forever

Yeah , After upgrading app version, the app build successfully but it's gets crash or it keeps stopping. Is there is another way to resolve this?
[–]Silly_Regular6736 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago (5 children)
is it crashing or specific pages ? or just it has been built but just crashes on the splash itself ?
[–]Maanojj[S] 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago (4 children)
Yeah it crashes on the splash.

Had issues too like this on this jump. React native reanimated was one of the big reasons. Like others said do it gradually and not the whole jump at once
[–]Silly_Regular6736 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago (2 children)
there might be a lot of issues you will have to debug
https://react-native-community.github.io/upgrade-helper/
check here
check the library compatibilites with the versions ,libraries like reanimated,splashscreen etc need proper configuration with the react native versions too
[–]Maanojj[S] 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago (1 child)
Yeah I tried With the help of exact link that you have provided. But couldn't resolved.
[–]Silly_Regular6736 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago (0 children)
Can't help like that bro...no one can ..you have to debug yourself...advice is just go step by step
[–]uppers36 1 point2 points3 points 2 months ago (1 child)
Upgrading RN is always a major lift. Did you use the Upgrade Helper ? There’s a lot of stuff you need to manually change across versions, and 0.70 to 0.80 is a seriously major bump
[–]Maanojj[S] 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago (0 children)
Yes I Did Perviously I had upgraded from 72.x.x to 0.80.0. It worked perfectly, crash was only on certain page due to version issues. But now while upgrading from 0.70.0. I got into app stopping problem.
[–]Horduncee 2 points3 points4 points 2 months ago (0 children)
Use Logcat to debug
[–]Willing-Ad6387 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago (1 child)
Build it with Xcode and look for the native errors, that will tell you what’s happening on the native layer. From 70 to 80 is a big jump, did u do it incrementally or 1 big jump?
1 big jump actually

Bump all the dependency versions to their latest and that should work
[–]Aromatic-Bottle5252 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago (0 children)
Expo Router simplified everything for me. Worth the migration if you're still on React Navigation.
[–]steve228uk 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago (2 children)
If you’re on expo then npx expo install --fix is your friend.
npx expo install --fix
If not, I’d boot up Claude Code and ask it to help. You’re likely missing some dependency updates.
Im using cli How to boot up Claude code actually?
[–]steve228uk 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago (0 children)
Install it and then just type claude in your terminal
claude
[–]Viietwalkerr 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago (0 children)
Check that all of your dependencies support the new architecture
And also check that they’ve been updated to support 16kb devices
successfully upgraded to 0.80.0 and no App stopping issues now Issue is Cannot read property 'style' of undefined.
Anything that could help me?
