Screenshots and Videos

Inizia riproducendo il crash in un progetto React Native esistente aggiornato alla versione 0.82.1 con yarn android su Android. Esamina lo stacktrace di avvio e l’errore di runtime forniti; il lavoro è completato quando hai identificato il problema di compatibilità e confermato che l’applicazione si avvia senza il TypeError della schermata rossa.
