Is React Native 0.65 required to update to RNIAP 12.x?

[curiousdustin]

The docs state the requirement of react-native >= 0.65.1. But, I am wondering if this is truly necessary?

My app is currently running react-native-iap 7.5.6, and react-native 0.63.5.

I am looking at possibly upgrading to the latest react-native-iap 12.x.

However, I am concerned about updating react-native just because of all the other modules and code in my project.

Do I really need to update RN in order to update RNIAP?

Why don't you give it a try? I can't think of a specific reason for it to be the minimum. Let us know of your findings and we can update the docs.

I have tried it out, only upgrading react-native-iap.

So far I have not uncovered any issues that stem from the react-native version. Although, I don't know what I don't know...

I have upgraded to 12.x and while the migration guides in the docs were helpful for versions 10, 11, and 12, there wasn't one for the largest change from 8 -> 9 which had many undocumented breaking changes.

At this point, probably not worth going back to document those, but perhaps at least mention somewhere that if upgrading from a version less than 9, it might be best to start from scratch.

I should also add that, after upgrading, we started experiencing long delays between requesting a subscription product purchase and when the iOS purchase flow would appear. So, we ended up staying on the old version of react-native-iap.
