Which version does React Native support (iOS and Android)?

Question

I can't find this information. Is it true that Android React Native runs on sdkMin18 and therefore makes it supported by most android versions?

Just to add on @Murat Karagöz 's answer... Here is where the React Native minSdk support changed: - version 0.64.0 supports minSdk 21, Android 5.0 or newer - version 0.63.4 supports minSdk 16, Android 4.1 or newer github.com/facebook/react-native/releases – Tare

Answer 1

You can run it on minSdk 21 as it is documented on the framework's github page.

React Native apps may target iOS 11.0 and Android 5.0 (API 21) or newer.

Thanks, I'm really a beginner so can you tell me please what is the meaning of API 16?? – Grefer

@Grefer Tha'ts the sdk version. In this case it reflects on Android 4.1. So devices which are not 4.1 or higher will not be able to run the app. – Ga

For iOS, it's now 9.0 – Mcreynolds

as a follow up to @BhavukJain 's answer per this change log as of version 0.63.0 Deprecate iOS 9.x support (58a6a40eac, 829a2237d2, 674b591809 by @fkgozali, d1265077d6 by @sunnylqm). Based on that, I would say that iOS is supported until 0.63.0. – Headphone

The supported iOS version changes all the time, but you can find it at any time by checking the Podfile on the official repository:

October 2023

https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/main/packages/react-native/scripts/cocoapods/helpers.rb#L41

March 2023

As of 2023, the min version can be found there:

https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/main/packages/react-native/scripts/react_native_pods.rb#L41

December 2021

https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/main/template/ios/Podfile

For example, as of December 2021, the supported iOS version is 11.0.
