React Native Upgrader FAQs

Question 1

Does it support downgrading React Native versions?

Accepted Answer

No, this skill is optimized specifically for upgrading to newer versions. It handles the forward-moving logic of version migrations and does not currently support downgrading.

Question 2

Does this work with Expo managed projects?

Accepted Answer

No, this skill is specifically designed for React Native CLI projects. For Expo projects, it is recommended to use the 'expo upgrade' or 'npx expo install' commands instead.

Question 3

What happens if a dependency installation fails?

Accepted Answer

If the execution subagent encounters a dependency conflict, it will stop and report the error. Because dependency conflicts often require human judgment, you will be prompted to resolve the issue manually before continuing.

Question 4

Can I review the changes before they are applied?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The skill always runs an Analysis phase first, presenting you with a summary of the version diff, relevant release notes, and a complexity assessment before asking for permission to proceed with execution.

Question 5

How does it handle my custom application code?

Accepted Answer

The skill follows a strict skip strategy during the execution phase, focusing on updating the standard React Native template files while avoiding modifications to your specific App.tsx or source business logic.
