Version Compatibility in Managed Workflow
Maintaining alignment between the Expo SDK and the underlying react-native version is critical for stability in the Managed Workflow. When these versions diverge from the documented compatibility matrix, the application may encounter unpredictable runtime crashes during the execution of native modules.
Environment Constraints
This behavior is particularly relevant when upgrading dependencies or integrating third-party libraries that force a specific version of React Native that differs from the one bundled with the current Expo SDK release.
- Target Environment: Expo Managed Workflow
- Dependency: Expo SDK compatibility matrix
What is the recommended mechanism for identifying which specific native module is triggering a crash when a version mismatch occurs? How can the package.json be validated against the SDK matrix to prevent these runtime failures before deployment?
