Description
#4755 removes a user-facing workaround we left in our template app. It has a nasty side-effect of causing any apps upgrading to see a crash if they don't remove the workaround.
This is a breaking change that could cause a lot of frustration, as the crash will appear somewhat cryptic. Following up with @vmoroz to understand if there are alternate fixes that could avoid the crash, or if we could convert the crash into a build-time error.
Pending that we have a couple options:
- Cherry-pick into 0.62 and try to rip the band-aid off early. This will break people using our preview, which is not ideal.
- Delay the change until 0.63, so that we can try to catch people with initial release notes.
- Invest in infrastructure like
react-native-upgradeto mitigate before making the change (likely not possible)
