Migrate to the New Architecture (React Native)

[vladimir-8]

If you haven’t migrated your project to the New Architecture, we recommend first migrating your project to React Native 0.81 or Expo SDK 54. These are the last versions that allow you to use the Legacy Architecture. They contain warnings and performance improvements specifically to help migrating to the New Architecture.

• React Native 0.81 or Expo SDK 54

Then

• Enable the New Architecture in 0.81 and verify that your application is working fine.
• Upgrade React Navigation https://reactnavigation.org/docs/upgrading-from-6.x/
