Hi! This week I also migrated from version 33 to 36 of the API SDK, which triggered a lot of dependency updates - including React Native and several other libraries. It turned out to be quite a time-consuming task.

I am comfortable updating dependencies, resolving native build issues, and ensuring full compliance for both Google Play and App Store.
I have experience with Apollo, React Navigation, Reanimated, Firebase, and other common libraries.
… I also worked with Auth0 and GraphQL, so verifying backend connectivity will be smooth.
I test on real devices and make sure both platforms run stable builds.
My upgrade process
• Follow the audit plan step by step
• Upgrade Expo 49 → 51 → 54
• Update all libraries to compatible versions
• Fix build errors and conflicts early
• Test core flows on Android and iOS
