Note for zero-installs users

If you are using the Yarn feature zero-installs that was introduced in Yarn V2, note that this PR does not update the .yarn/cache/ directory meaning this code cannot be pulled and immediately developed on as one would expect for a zero-install project - you will need to run yarn to update the contents of the ./yarn/cache directory.
If you are not using zero-install you can ignore this as your flow should likely be unchanged.

⚠️ Warning

Failed to update the yarn.lock, please update manually before merging.

The react-test-renderer version (16.8.3) must match the React version. When React is upgraded to version 18.x to be compatible with React Native 0.69.12, react-test-renderer should also be updated to the same 18.x version.

[Copilot]

The metro-react-native-babel-preset version (^0.51.1) is incompatible with React Native 0.69.12. This package should be updated to a version compatible with React Native 0.69, which would be around ^0.72.x or higher. Using an outdated babel preset will cause build failures.

[Copilot]

Upgrading React Native from 0.59.9 to 0.69.12 requires updating the React version from 16.8.3 to 18.x. React Native 0.69.x has a peer dependency on React 18.0.0 or higher. The current React version (16.8.3) is incompatible and will cause runtime errors.
