Upgrading Expo SDK and React Native safely. Use when bumping the SDK or react-native, or when the app broke after an upgrade: upgrade order, expo install --fix, expo-doctor, config plugins, OTA pitfalls.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Expo SDK upgrades without a lost weekend

## Ground rules

- One SDK version at a time. Two majors in one jump doubles the breakage and halves your ability to bisect it.
- Upgrade on a branch and keep the app runnable on main. You will want to diff against a working tree.
- Read the SDK changelog before touching anything. The "Breaking changes" and "Deprecations" sections are short and they are the whole game.
- Budget real time for it. A clean upgrade is an afternoon; a project with many native libraries can take days.

## The order of operations

```bash
# 1. Update the expo package itself to the target SDK. Check expo.dev/changelog
#    for the current number: Expo now ships about three SDKs a year (55, 56 and
#    57 all landed in the first half of 2026), so a number written here rots fast.
npm install expo@^<target>.0.0

# 2. Let Expo align every SDK-managed dependency to the versions it was tested with
npx expo install --fix

# 3. Ask for a health report
npx expo-doctor@latest
```

The SDK changelogs fold steps 1 and 2 into one command, `npx expo install expo@^<target>.0.0 --fix`; either form ends in the same place.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add anilburcu/claude-code-react-native/expo-sdk-upgrade@sha256:ce89c8cfd7631205

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260911.98ac3cb, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
