Expo SDK upgrades

Plan Expo SDK migrations and resolve dependency or native build compatibility issues.

Read SKILL.md

Workflow

Expo’s upgrade skill follows the current SDK migration process, dependency checks and native changes, with references for React, navigation, media packages and the New Architecture.

Use when

  • Upgrade an Expo SDK or investigate upgrade-related build failures.

Required inputs

  • Current SDK, dependency versions and native configuration
  • Target SDK and observed build errors

Expected outputs

  • Updated dependencies and migration changes
  • Post-upgrade build and device checks

Prerequisites

  • Expo repository, package manager and a reproducible development build.
  • Native toolchains or EAS access are needed for the corresponding build checks.
