[Question] Can we safely use React 16.8.4 or higher with RN 0.59.4?

Hi,
we had long discussion within the team about it but without consensus. Maybe you can help?

@lorenc-tomasz You can't safely use another version because it required sync commit from Facebook. Example for React 16.8.3: facebook/react-native@d4ce846 . This have many changes besides raising version.

Thanks. Sadly I was right as new react-redux requires at least 16.8.4

@lorenc-tomasz I think you can use new react-redux. react-redux should download and use required dependencies (react 16.8.4) but react native will still use react from you'r package.json.

@lorenc-tomasz See: reduxjs/react-redux#1242

react-redux will work with 16.8.3.
