How to I upgrade the react native version if I used this tool previously?

[Thakur Karthik (ThakurKarthik)]

Hi I upgraded to react-native 0.74.0 previously using this tool. My package.json has a section

Now I am trying to upgrade to 0.76.0 but the tool still showing the 0.74 deps only, After looking at this url https://react-native-community.github.io/upgrade-helper/?from=0.74.2&to=0.76.2&package=com.myfinancebuddy&name=MyFinanceBuddy
I ran this command
npx @rnx-kit/align-deps --requirements=react-native@0.76 --verbose

but it still shows the 0.74 deps, please see below screenshot of the terminal.

I also tried to install latest version of the toolkit "@rnx-kit/align-deps": "^3.0.2" and ran

but still same issue, I think I am missing something simple here, please help and thanks in advance!

Just to check, if you change the entry in all your package.json files to "react-native@0.76", and then run "align-deps --write" that doesn't work?

I haven't tried that. I was thinking the cli command will take care of it automatically

Hey, if you take a look in the docs, --requirements is only applied to unconfigured packages. What you want to use is --set-version. You can read more about it here: https://microsoft.github.io/rnx-kit/docs/tools/align-deps#--set-version

As mentioned above, an alternative is to manually change react-native@0.74 → react-native@0.76 and re-run the tool.
