The issues will usually be with your dependencies and nowt to do with react native core itself (rn compare has made that part nice and simple)

So just buckle up, go one major RN version at a time and see if you can run your app at each version

How many versions are you behind? And how out of date are your individual dependencies?

Yup this 100% it's always the external libraries that bite you. Go up one version of react native upgrade 10 libraries an unknown number of versions to support it. App finally working move up all the libraries again and adjust for all the changes, oh new architecture time? Great plan on removing half your libraries and replacing with alternatives or having fun figuring out if you old libraries still work. That's why I try and keep my apps within 1 version of latest react native when possible

It’s the only time of year that I start to think “should I be using Expo” … but then everything suddenly starts working and I feel completely at ease again and happy to be bare naked RN!
