Upgrade your Expo project

To upgrade your Expo project from version 48 to version 49, you will need to follow some specific steps. Additionally, you should be aware that compatibility breaks between versions may occur, and it is important to test your application well after updating. Here are the general steps to make this update:

Step 1: Update Expo CLI
First, make sure you have the latest version of Expo CLI installed globally. You can do this by running the following command:

npm install -g expo-cli

This will update Expo CLI to the latest version.

Step 2: Update the Expo SDK
Then update the Expo SDK in your project configuration. Navigate to your Expo project directory and run the following command:

npx expo-cli upgrade

Isso deve atualizar o SDK Expo para a versão mais recente compatível com a versão 49.

Step 3: Update project dependencies
With the Expo SDK update, it is possible that some of the libraries or packages you are using may also need to be updated to ensure compatibility. To do this, you can run the following command in your project directory:

npx expo install

This will analyze your project's dependencies and update the required libraries to the latest version supported by the Expo 49 SDK.

Step 4: Test the project
After updating, it is essential to test your application thoroughly to ensure everything works as expected. Run your Expo project using the command:

npx expo start -c

Open the Expo Go app on your mobile device and scan the QR code displayed on the terminal to verify the operation of your updated app.

Step 5: Resolve compatibility issues
You may encounter compatibility issues when updating your project. Check the error messages in the terminal and the documentation for the libraries you use. Sometimes you may need to make adjustments to your application's code so that it works correctly with the latest version of Expo.

Step 6: Back up your project
Before making any significant updates, make a backup of your project to avoid data loss.

Remember to consult the official Expo documentation and the documentation for the libraries you are using for detailed information about any major changes in version 49 and any required updates.

These are the general steps for upgrading an Expo project from version 48 to version 49. Be sure to test your application thoroughly to ensure everything is working as expected after the upgrade.
