React Native: v0.71.0-rc.1 Release

How To Test

Generate a new project with the standard command:

npx react-native init RN0710RC1 --version 0.71.0-rc.1

⚠️ we are aware of issues building iOS with RC1, we are already looking into that, and we'll publish an RC2 with that fix asap ⚠️

Workaround for building iOS

While we address the problem with iOS, you can get a successful iOS build by opening your Xcode project (RN0710RC1.xcworkspace), navigating to RN0710RC1's Build Phases, and removing the last phase [RN]Copy Hermes Framework by clicking on the bin icon and confirming. Note that you will have to re-remove this build phase if you run pod install again.

Help us testing 🧪

Let us know how it went by posting a comment in the working group discussion! Please specify with system you tried it on (ex. macos, windows).

Bonus points: It would be even better if you could swap things around: instead of using a fresh new app, use a more complex one - or use a different library that is already leveraging the new architecture!
