Open source React Native releases follow a release train that is coordinated on GitHub through the react-native-releases repository. New releases are created off the main branch of facebook/react-native. They will follow a Release Candidate process to allow contributors like yourself to verify the changes and to identify any issues by writing clear, actionable bug reports. Eventually, the release candidate will be promoted to stable.
Below is the schedule and current status of recent and upcoming React Native releases:
