What This Skill Does

Guides upgrading Expo SDK versions step by step, from running install and fix commands to handling breaking changes, deprecated packages, and native cache clearing. Covers SDK 53 through 55+ changes including New Architecture, React 19, React Compiler, and the expo-av to expo-audio/expo-video migration. Instead of manually cross-referencing changelogs, migration guides, and deprecation tables across multiple SDK versions, this skill consolidates the exact commands and checklist items for each release in one place.
