Can React Native be upgraded separately of Expo in the bare workflow?

  1. Can React Native be upgraded separately of Expo in the bare workflow?

What is the rule of thumb for this? There’s nothing in the documentation about it and it’s quite difficult to understand.

it can, yes. we don’t guarantee that all of the packages in the sdk will work on a version of react-native that we haven’t explicitly built/tested against yet, but generally they do and we appreciate reports and PRs to fix any issues that do come up if you’re updating to the bleeding edge latest version.
