v0.60.0 Changes
July 03, 2019๐ This feature release of React Native includes many milestone changes for the platform. Please refer to the blog post for selected details. For upgrading users, some of the progress comes with breaking changes; manual intervention may be required for your app. We're also aware that existing CocoaPods integrations using
use_frameworks
are not out-of-the-box compatible with this version, but please consider various workarounds while we prepare a long-term solution for a future release. If you're interested in helping evaluate our next release (0.61), subscribe to the dedicated issue here.Have you ever considered contributing to React Native itself? Be sure to check out Contributing to React Native.

can be set manually. (8f186b84ae by @sahrens)โก๏ธ Update detox to match master (c6a5c09e2b by @kelset)
