React & React Native Versions
This page describes how React and React Native versions interact each other. The version alignment between the two frameworks relies on two synchronization points:
- The versions in the
package.json
of the new app template. For example for React Native 0.68.1 the versions are aligned as follows:
"dependencies": {
"react": "17.0.2",
"react-native": "0.68.1"
},
- The React renderers shipped with React Native inside this folder, the ./Libraries/Renderer folder, of React Native.
This practically means that you can't bump the version of React in your package.json
to a later version,
as you will still be using the older renderer from the folder mentioned above. Bumping the react version in your package.json
will lead to unexpected behaviors.
For the sake of React 18, the first version of React Native compatible with React 18 is 0.69.0. Users on React Native 0.68.0 and previous versions won't be able to use React 18.
If you use the react-native upgrade
command or the React Native Upgrade Helper, you'll bump to the correct React version once you upgrade React Native.
