Upgrade React Native from 0.84.1 to 0.85.3#463
Merged
Conversation
Updates react-native, @react-native/* devDeps, react-android, and hermes-android to 0.85.3. No removed-API fixes needed (pre-check clean).
rimraf is no longer available as a transitive dep in the RN 0.85.3
package tree. Replace all rimraf.sync() calls with execSync('rm -rf').
Captures the full RN upgrade process: pre-checks, version bumps across ReactNative + Templates repos, codegen regeneration, iOS/Android prep and test runs, template validation, and PR creation. Includes gotchas learned from 0.83→0.84 and 0.84→0.85 upgrades (rimraf, sandbox EPERM, react-native-force URL revert).
Add Phase 7b with credential injection commands (from TESTING_CREDENTIALS.md) and react-native-force fork URL setup for manual template testing.
