How to Update Upgrade Helper

Warning

As of React Native > 0.68, Upgrade Helper is automatically updated when publishing a release. These instructions remain mostly for reference.

From the readme of its dedicated repo

Note

The Upgrade Helper tool aims to provide the full set of changes happening between any two versions, based on the previous work done in the rn-diff-purge project:

This repository exposes an untouched React Native app generated with the CLI react-native init RnDiffApp. Each new React Native release causes a new project to be created, removing the old one, and getting a diff between them. This way, the diff is always clean, always in sync with the changes of the init template.

The upgrade helper webapp relies on rn-diff-purge having the diff for the versions of RN released.

Instructions to update

For release versions >= 0.68

For release versions < 0.68

Warning

You need to have write access or be a Code Owner for the rn-diff-purge repo to do either of these approaches.

Trigger GitHub action via CURL

# Update the "version" with your version and provide your PAT
curl -X POST -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" \
   https://api.github.com/repos/react-native-community/rn-diff-purge/dispatches \
   -d '{"event_type":"publish", "client_payload": {"version": "0.67.0"}}' \
   -H "authorization: Bearer <PAT>"

Manual instructions

To generate the diff for a new version, there are essentially only 3 steps needed:

  • git clone the rn-diff-purge repo.
  • cd into it, and yarn install.
  • Run the script ./new-release.sh <version_tag>.
    • For example: ./new-release.sh 0.66.0-rc.1.
