How to cut a new release branch

Prerequisites

The following are required for the local test suite to run:

• macOS with Android dev environment set up
• react-native-cli installed globally (v0.2.0 or newer)

Step 1: Check everything works

Before cutting a release branch, make sure Circle CI system is green.

Before executing the following script, make sure you have:

• An Android emulator / Genymotion device running
• No packager running in any of the projects

./scripts/test-manual-e2e.sh

This script bundles a react-native package locally and passes it to the react-native cli that creates a test project inside /tmp folder using that version.

After npm install completes, the script prints a set of manual checks you have to do to ensure the release you are preparing is working as expected on both platforms.
