Provides an incremental adoption strategy to migrate native iOS or Android apps to React Native or Expo using @callstack/react-native-brownfield for initial setup. Use when planning migration steps, packaging XCFramework/AAR artifacts, and integrating them into host apps.

Integrates Expo and React Native into existing native iOS or Android apps via isolated (AAR/XCFramework) or integrated (Gradle/CocoaPods) approaches.
Upgrades React Native apps to newer versions using rn-diff-purge diffs, updates package.json, migrates iOS/Android config, resolves CocoaPods and Gradle changes, and handles breaking API updates.

Prescriptive workflow for incremental adoption of React Native in existing native apps using @callstack/react-native-brownfield, from initial setup through phased host integration.
Use one track per task unless the user explicitly asks for migration or comparison.
Use this strategy for brownfield migration planning and execution:
@callstack/react-native-brownfield.XCFramework/AAR) from the RN source app.Apply these rules across all reference files:
<framework_target_name>, <android_module_name>, <registered_module_name>) and resolve from project files.agent-device to open the host app, navigate to the RN surface, capture snapshots/screenshots, and collect device evidence. If it is missing and verification needs it, install it through the environment's approved/trusted path or ask the user to install or enable it.Before selecting any reference file, classify the project:
package.json and app.json:
expo is present or Expo plugin workflow is requested.Reference this package when:
