Help us testing 🧪

Let us know how it went by posting a comment in the working group discussion! Please specify with system you tried it on (ex. macos, windows).

Bonus points: It would be even better if you could swap things around: instead of using a fresh new app, use a more complex one - or use a different library that is already leveraging the new architecture!

How To Test

⚠️ we are aware of issues building iOS with RC1, we are already looking into that, and we'll publish an RC2 with that fix asap ⚠️

Workaround for building iOS

While we address the problem with iOS, you can get a successful iOS build by opening your Xcode project (RN0710RC1.xcworkspace), navigating to RN0710RC1's Build Phases, and removing the last phase [RN]Copy Hermes Framework by clicking on the bin icon and confirming.
Note that you will have to re-remove this build phase if you run pod install again.

Building Android successfully

After the outage on the 4th of November, we managed to have the artifacts removed from Maven Central.
This means that the above way to test the RC is not working anymore.
The proper way to test v0.71.0-RC0 will be:

1. Manually download the maven-local.zip archive (you can also find the link in this release).
2. Unzip the maven-local.zip on a folder on your disk.
3. Add the REACT_NATIVE_MAVEN_LOCAL_REPO=<path_to_the_maven-local_unzipped_folder> setting to the android/gradle.properties file
4. Run the usual command: yarn android
