Ideas for improvements

  • A lot of these steps could be done by a script
  • We could simplify the process quite a bit by publishing the Android binaries to npm. This will increase the size of the npm package by about 3.3MB. To do that: after installArchives, move the binaries to somewhere where npm publish will pick them up. Then, change the build.gradle file(s) of your generated app so that Gradle will pick up the binaries from node_modules. This will likely also fix issues with incompatible versions of JS and Android binaries (e.g. #4488).

One time setup

Set up Sinopia: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/tree/master/react-native-cli

Cut a release branch

To cut a release branch and check that everything works, you'll need Mac OS with the Android dev environment set up.

Run:

cd react-native
./scripts/release.sh 0.19   # Replace 0.19 with the version you're cutting the branch for :)

Check that everything works

Make absolutely sure basic iOS and Android workflow works on master, see the instructions printed by release.sh.

Push to github

  • Check git history, the last commit should be "[0.19-rc] Bump version numbers" (with the correct version)
  • git push origin 0.version_you_are_releasing-stable

Do a release

Skip this for now, ping @mkonicek on messenger and he'll handle it. Docs here.

Track bug reports from the community during the following two weeks and make sure they get fixed

A good way to do this is to create a github issue and post about it so people can report bugs: facebook#5201
