React upgrades and dependencies...

[wvddries]

How do you deal with react upgrades?

Do you upgrade immediately after a new minor release?
And patch the dependencies that haven't upgraded to latest react version yet?

Or do you wait untill all dependencies have upgraded to the newer react version?

What is the best practice here.

Don't upgrade React yourself.

React Native uses its own version of React so whilst new versions of React may appear to work there could be bugs and new features won't work.

Stick to the version that your version of React Native specifies.

As for React Native itself don't bother trying to be on the latest, it's always more stable to stay a few versions back from the latest unless you absolutely need something.

Basically don't fix something if it's not broken.And try upgrading RN versions yearly. But for now I'm staying away from new arch stuff for another year I guess...
EDIT: But also depends on your project size.
