Upgraded from 0.70.0 to 0.70.6, not allowed by rnx-align-deps?

I had "react-native": "^0.70.0" that I changed to "react-native": "^0.70.6" and ran yarn install, but rnx-align-deps expects 0.70.0 only, why?

This is to ensure that your package manager resolves the requested version, ^0.70.0, to the same version for your whole repository. If you had, for example, both ^0.70.0 and ^0.70.6, you can end up with two different copies of react-native. You can find more information about the reasons in this document: https://microsoft.github.io/rnx-kit/docs/architecture/dependency-management

That said, the caret (^) allows you to bump patch version. ^0.70.0 is the same as 0.70.x. If you want to upgrade to 0.70.6, you can use the upgrade command of your package manager (instructions for Yarn). If you prefer to do so manually, you can also try removing the react-native entry in yarn.lock and re-run install.

That makes perfect sense, thank you. I used yarn upgrade react-native and I saw it upgraded to 0.70.6 without the actual full version name showing on package.json, there it remained ^0.70.0, but yarn.lock properly shows the version 0.70.6. Thank you.
