I think this is almost complete. We are eager to upgrade to latest.

Hirbod

Cemalettin Koç: yeah, but stuck on the last two issues :/

Peter Steinberger

We provide a wrapper for our SDK to React Native, and always support the latest version - this currently blocks Expo users from upgrading. Please update Expo to be at the same version as vanilla React Native, to reduce issues and allow a streamlined update experience for everyone.

why not directly to 0.61?

Juan David Nicholls Cardona

thanks guys, this is very important to fix the errors with Lottie from Android :)

I believe that it would be best if expo skipped 0.60.x version and updated its library straight to 0.61 when it is stable as with this version will come most of the important updates to RN

Andrea Arguello

Hayk Shakhbazyan: As much as that would be useful, how long would that take? Given that many apps are being rejected from the store, as Chandler Van De Water points out, which is a bigger issue in my opinion. Besides all the official react-native github has posted are release candidates, and not a 0.61 version per se.

Chandler Van De Water

Brent Vatne any chance upgrading RN to 0.60+ can happen in SDK 35 instead of 36? App Store submissions are rejected, as

react-native

references UIWebView in <RN6.0, and "Apple will stop accepting submissions of apps that use UIWebView APIs". (ITMS-90809: Deprecated API Usage)

Cédric Rassaert

Chandler Van De Water: just use useWebkit={true}
