To go through all the commits that went into a release, one way is to use the GitHub compare view: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/compare/0.18-stable...0.19-stable

## Do an RC release (e.g. 0.22.0-rc)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
IMPORTANT: `npm publish` will automatically set the latest tag. **When doing an RC release**, run `npm publish --tag next` - this way people need to opt in to get the RC release.
|

|
|
||||||
|
## IMPORTANT: 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. Examples: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/6087, https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/5201
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We should only be tracking bugs with small and non-risky fixes. Don't pick new features into the release as this greatly increases the risk of something breaking. The main point of the RC is to let people to use it for two weeks and fix the most serious bugs.

||||||
|
## Do a release (e.g. 0.22.0, 0.22.1)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Roughly two weeks after the branch cut (see the release schedule above) it's time to promote the RC to a real realease.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Make sure you know which bug fixes should definitely be cheery-picked, example: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/6087

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Do the following:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**NOTE: Most of these steps are similar to what the script `release.sh` does. The script is used to cut the release branch only, can be made more generic to help with this step too.**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
cd react-native
|
||||||
|
git checkout master
|
||||||
|
git pull
|
||||||
|
git checkout 0.version_you_are_releasing-stable # e.g. git checkout 0.22-stable
|
||||||
|
git pull origin 0.version_you_are_releasing-stable # e.g. git pull origin 0.22-stable
|
||||||
|
# Cherry-pick those commits, test everything again using Sinopia
|
||||||
|
git cherry-pick commitHash1
|
||||||
|
# Create the 'android' folder to be published to npm.
|
||||||
|
./gradlew :ReactAndroid:installArchives
|
||||||
|
# Check that it's there: `ls android`
|
||||||
|
...
|
||||||
|
npm set registry http://localhost:4873
|
||||||
|
sinopia
|
||||||
|
# change versions in package.json and React.podspec
|
||||||
|
npm publish
|
||||||
|
cd /tmp
|
||||||
|
react-native init TestAapp
|
||||||
|
cd TestApp
|
||||||
|
react-native run-ios
|
||||||
|
# Check that you can Reload JS and the Chrome debugger works
|
||||||
|
# Kill packager
|
||||||
|
open ios/TestApp.xcodeproj
|
||||||
|
# Click run
|
||||||
|
# Check that you can Reload JS and the Chrome debugger works
|
||||||
|
cd android && ./gradlew dependencies
|
||||||
|
# Double check the react-native dep has the correct version
|
||||||
|
cd ..
|
||||||
|
react-native run-android
|
||||||
|
# Check that you can Reload JS and the Chrome debugger works
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If everything worked:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
npm set registry https://registry.npmjs.org
|
||||||
|
npm publish
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Tag the release in Git:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
git tag v-version_you_are_releasing # e.g. git tag v0.22.0, git tag v0.22.1
|
||||||
|
git push --tags
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To update the [website](https://facebook.github.io/react-native), move the `latest` tag and push to the `0.x-stable` branch. CircleCI will build and deploy the latest docs to the website.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```
|
```
|
||||||
git tag -d latest
|
git tag -d latest
|
||||||
git push origin :latest
|
git push origin :latest
|
||||||
git tag latest
|
git tag latest
|
||||||
git push origin version_you_are_releasing-stable --tags
|
git push origin version_you_are_releasing-stable --tags # e.g git push origin 0.22-stable --tags
|
||||||
```
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Make sure we have release notes
|
Once you see the version in the top left corner of the website has been updated:
|
||||||
|
Move the release notes to the tag you've just created. We want single release notes per version, for example if there is v0.22.0-rc and later we release v0.22.0, the release notes should live on v0.22.0:
|
||||||
|
https://github.com/facebook/react-native/tags
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Post that we're ready to release so voluteers can write release notes:
|
Uncheck the box "This is a pre-release" and publish the notes.

||||||

|
||||||
