Exact-version migration risk
React Native 0.83
Official support status: Unsupported. This page summarizes planning indicators, not a project-specific diagnosis.
Why this line needs a plan
React Native supports the latest three minor series. Versions marked unsupported should not be expected to receive routine patches; end-of-cycle versions receive fewer patches. Your actual risk still depends on native modules, platform targets, CI, and critical flows.
Expo context
Stable Expo SDK 55 targets React Native 0.83. Expo users should follow supported SDK-to-SDK upgrades; do not change the React Native version directly.
Migration risk indicators
- No routine React Native patches are expected for this release line.
- Inventory native modules and CI toolchains before choosing an upgrade path.
- Treat store-policy readiness as an evidence review, not a compliance conclusion.
Evidence to collect first
- Exact dependencies, native modules, patches, and forks
- Current iOS and Android build-tool versions
- Store-policy and privacy-declaration evidence
- Release CI, signing ownership, and rollback path
- Device-level coverage for revenue-critical flows
