React 19?

[Kyle Essenmacher (kessenma)]

Does this library support RN 0.78, which includes support for React 19? Or does it allow you to stay on RN 0.77 and use React 19?

I think using React 19 with lower than React Native 0.78 is unsupported / undefined behavior territory. Maybe it'll work, but there's nothing in this set of libraries to specifically aid that.

Hi, the short answer to this is "no". That's not currently possible.

The longer answer: Parts of React is shipped with React Native. You cannot change the version in package.json (read this README.md) as it will cause the shipped parts to be out of sync with React. Changing to a version other than what RN declares is unsupported and will likely break in most unexpected ways. rnx-kit does not provide any libraries for this use case.
