[santhoshvai]

Source: https://react-native-community.github.io/upgrade-helper/?from=0.81.4&to=0.83.2

Summary

• Upgrade React Native from 0.81.5 to 0.83.2 in the dogfood sample app
• Upgrade React from 19.1.0 to 19.2.0
• Upgrade react-native-reanimated to 4.2.1 and react-native-worklets to 0.7.3 for RN 0.83 compatibility
• Migrate Android MainApplication.kt to the new reactHost by lazy pattern introduced in RN 0.83
• Update Gradle wrapper from 8.14.3 to 9.0.0
• Apply iOS native config changes from rn-diff-purge (quoted Xcode shell script paths, CADisableMinimumFrameDurationOnPhone in Info.plist)

Test plan

• iOS simulator build passes (xcodebuild for iPhone 16 / iOS 18.6)
• Android debug build passes (./gradlew assembleDebug)
• Verify app launches and basic video call flow works on iOS device
• Verify app launches and basic video call flow works on Android device

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Android app switches from a ReactNativeHost to a lazy ReactHost setup and adds VideoEffectsPackage; Gradle wrapper bumped to 9.0.0. iOS Podfile/script quoting adjusted and Info.plist gains CADisableMinimumFrameDurationOnPhone=true. Sample app dependencies and RN tooling are upgraded; CI adds GRADLE_OPTS for larger JVM heap.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Android application sample-apps/react-native/dogfood/android/app/src/main/java/io/getstream/rnvideosample/MainApplication.kt	Replaces reactNativeHost: ReactNativeHost with reactHost: ReactHost by lazy { ... }, uses loadReactNative(this) import, and adds VideoEffectsPackage to autolinked packages.
Android build sample-apps/react-native/dogfood/android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties	Gradle wrapper distribution updated from gradle-8.14.3-bin.zip to gradle-9.0.0-bin.zip.
iOS project/config sample-apps/react-native/dogfood/ios/Podfile, sample-apps/react-native/dogfood/ios/StreamReactNativeVideoSDKSample.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj, sample-apps/react-native/dogfood/ios/StreamReactNativeVideoSDKSample/Info.plist	Removed a comment inside post_install (Podfile); adjusted quoting in the "Bundle React Native code and images" build phase script (pbxproj); added CADisableMinimumFrameDurationOnPhone = true to Info.plist.
Dependencies / Tooling sample-apps/react-native/dogfood/package.json	Bumped dependency versions: react → 19.2.0, react-native → ^0.83.2, react-native-reanimated → ~4.2.1, react-native-worklets → ^0.7.3; aligned RN tooling devDependencies to ^0.83.2 and updated @types/react.
CI workflow .github/workflows/react-native-workflow.yml	Added environment variable GRADLE_OPTS with value -Dorg.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4g to increase Gradle JVM heap in CI.

Poem

🐰 I hopped through hosts with a curious twitch,

Lazy ReactHost found a new stitch.
Gradle got taller, iOS got a tweak,
Packages snugged in—our sample app’s sleek! 🎉

In
`@sample-apps/react-native/dogfood/android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties`:
- Line 3: Update the Gradle distribution referenced by distributionUrl in
gradle-wrapper.properties to a compatible version: determine which Android
Gradle Plugin your project pulls in (from `@react-native/gradle-plugin`) and set
distributionUrl accordingly—use Gradle 9.1.0 or newer if AGP 9.0.x is used, or
Gradle 9.3.1 or newer if AGP 9.1.x is used; also confirm the build JDK is
configured to JDK 17+. Locate the distributionUrl entry in
gradle-wrapper.properties and replace the gradle-9.0.0-bin.zip URL with the
appropriate gradle-9.1.0-bin.zip or gradle-9.3.1-bin.zip (or newer) to match the
AGP version.

In @.github/workflows/react-native-workflow.yml:
- Line 20: Replace the non-standard environment variable ORG_GRADLE_JVMARGS with
the recognized GRADLE_OPTS so the Gradle wrapper will honor the JVM setting;
specifically set GRADLE_OPTS to include the JVM property (e.g.
-Dorg.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4g) instead of ORG_GRADLE_JVMARGS in the workflow file
so Gradle 9.0 uses the intended 4g heap allocation.
