Coming App
Coming App is a social discovery product centered on profiles, matching, and shared activities. My contribution focused on a demanding React Native upgrade that kept the mobile app aligned with new platform requirements while preserving release stability.
01Contribution
I upgraded a legacy React Native 0.71.1 codebase to a newer version that supports the 16 KB page size requirement. The project depended on more than 60 third party libraries, so I researched compatibility issues, resolved native build problems, and stabilized the app across both platforms before publishing the updated releases to the App Store and Google Play.
- Upgraded a legacy React Native 0.71.1 project to a version compatible with the 16 KB page size requirement.
- Researched and resolved compatibility issues across more than 60 third party libraries, including native build and runtime concerns.
- Stabilized the app for both platforms and handled the publishing process for the updated iOS and Android releases.
02Outcomes
- Brought the app into compliance with modern platform expectations without disrupting product continuity.
- Reduced upgrade risk through careful dependency research, debugging, and release validation.
- Enabled successful publishing on both app stores after a complex upgrade path.
