Hi, any chance to get this PR merged and fix the issue?
Thanks

[sayurimizuguchi]

@d4vidi Let me know if any other changes are needed.

[pedroicandido]

Hey guys, any news about this pr?

[d4vidi]

@igorgn could we replace this with a buildkite "gateway" approval button so we could run this upon confirmation?

[d4vidi]

In any case, thanks @sayurimizuguchi, we will put more attention into this ASAP.
An official upgrade to RN74 is in our plans but we'd be thrilled to get help with that and with that speed things up. There's a lot on our plate.

Let me know if you need extra eyes on the upgrade. I would be glad to help.

Hello guys!

Any chance you can prioritize this PR? RNN doesn't work in RN version 0.74.

Hello guys!

Any chance you can prioritize this PR? RNN doesn't work in RN version 0.74.

Yep we're had a few CI issues we had to fix first. Reiterating back to it.

[adammcarth]

@d4vidi What's the latest known React Native version that RNN works with? Is it just 0.74.x that is currently effected?

@d4vidi What's the latest known React Native version that RNN works with? Is it just 0.74.x that is currently effected?

@adammcarth I've tested on RN 0.73.9 and working fine.

[d4vidi]

Yep RN 73 is well supported and tested regularly.

[d4vidi]

@sayurimizuguchi it seems like we've got the ball rolling, finally 👌🏻
You can review the CI errors and continue your work over this.

Sounds good. I will be working on the CI logs next

Hey @sayurimizuguchi, how are things going? Do you need help making further progress here? We're also largely available on Discord, still

I'm sorry for not getting back to you sooner (I work full-time). I added the required resolution to fix the pipeline issues, and the branch was successfully built. I also tested the playground app.

[d4vidi]

@sayurimizuguchi Sorry, I've been mostly away in the last couple of days.
I've allowed all the checks to run, expect the real feedback soon enough (green, I hope 🤞🏻)

Red, I'm afraid. Seems there's some back-compat things to take care of, but it is a start.

I see. I hadn't seen those commands in the pipeline logs that were erroring and then succeeded with the new changes; otherwise, I would have handled these issues. Since I just joined, I have been trying to understand the process here. Would you know if there is any other command in the pipeline besides cd playground/android && ./gradlew testReactNative71ReleaseUnitTest that would cause problems? Let me know so we can remove back and forth, and I can understand the entire process of having a fully ready PR and continuing to contribute, potentially for v75.

I will be tackling these issues this week after working hours.

All relevant scripts are available as npm scripts in package.json (at least the entry points...)

As for build commands, my advice is to focus on the basics (e.g. a npm build) and then follow the Detox configuration (i.e. the detox section in package.json):

    "apps": {
      "ios.debug": {
        "type": "ios.app",
        "binaryPath": "playground/ios/DerivedData/playground/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/playground.app",
        "start": "npm start -- --e2e",
        "build": "RCT_NO_LAUNCH_PACKAGER=true xcodebuild build -scheme playground -workspace playground/ios/playground.xcworkspace -sdk iphonesimulator -configuration Debug -derivedDataPath playground/ios/DerivedData/playground ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH=YES -quiet -UseModernBuildSystem=YES"
      },
      "ios.release": {
        "type": "ios.app",
        "binaryPath": "playground/ios/DerivedData/playground/Build/Products/Release-iphonesimulator/playground.app",
        "build": "RCT_NO_LAUNCH_PACKAGER=true xcodebuild build -scheme playground_release -workspace playground/ios/playground.xcworkspace -sdk iphonesimulator -configuration Release -derivedDataPath playground/ios/DerivedData/playground ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH=YES -quiet -UseModernBuildSystem=YES"
      },
      "android.debug": {
        "type": "android.apk",
        "binaryPath": "playground/android/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk",
        "start": "npm start -- --e2e",
        "build": "cd playground/android && ./gradlew app:assembleDebug app:assembleAndroidTest -DtestBuildType=debug"
      },
      "android.release": {
        "type": "android.apk",
        "binaryPath": "playground/android/app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release.apk",
        "build": "cd playground/android && ./gradlew app:assembleRelease app:assembleAndroidTest -DtestBuildType=release"
      }
    },
