Release Notes Published

⭐️ Golden Release Candidate ⭐️

This RC is a quick follow-up to yesterday's RC4 that only includes a bump of @react-native/gradle-plugin to fix an Android build issue.

Help us ensure that 0.72.0 will be as stable as possible by testing this version! Let us know how it went by posting a comment in the working group discussion - and please specify which system you tried it on (ex. macos, windows).

Bonus points: It would be even better if you could swap things around: instead of using a fresh new app, use a more complex one - or use a different library that is already leveraging the new architecture!

How To Test

You can generate a new project with the standard command:

npx react-native@latest init RN0720RC5 --version 0.72.0-rc.5
