Description
Hey folks!
As the surprising number of new issues opened in this repo have buried my announcement (#1197) from 2023, let me re-iterate the obvious — the `react-native-fs` library has been abandoned by its past maintainers long ago; its last release was in May 2022, when RN was at its v0.68, and we are now in March 2026, at RN v0.84. In 2023, when the latest `react-native-fs` version stopped working out of the box with the latest RN releases, I have forked it, released as a new library, and I am actively maintaining it still.
You can find my up-to-date version of the library at:
**NPM:** https://www.npmjs.com/package/@dr.pogodin/react-native-fs
**GitHub:** https://github.com/birdofpreyru/react-native-fs
What puzzles me is how it comes that my fork still has 25k weekly downloads, while the original out-dated library still has 480k weekly downloads — almost 50 times more! 😱 I guess, a bunch of people should consider upgrading their apps to the latest versions of RN and other dependencies 😅
