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 a basic iOS and Android workflow works on the release branch you've just created, 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

Update https://facebook.github.io/react-native

Move latest tag when doing a release and pushing to 0.x-stable branch, CI will build and deploy the latest docs to the website.

git tag -d latest
git push origin :latest
git tag latest
git push origin version_you_are_releasing-stable --tags

Make sure we have release notes

Post that we're ready to release so voluteers can write release notes: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/releases

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 a release

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.

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: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/5201
