Hey @shehand , I'm happy to let you know that I've successfully upgraded the Go_social app's React Native version from 0.58.6 to 0.71.3. This upgrade involved significant changes in both versions, many aspects of the app required updating.

Now the app is building smoothly without any errors. However, there are still some dependencies that need attention, such as AsyncStorage, React-Navigation, and react-native-map, etc. These dependencies have undergone changes that need to be addressed.

At present, I'm encountering a Firebase error, which I believe is due to the absence of the config.js file in the config folder. Currently, there's only a config.example.js file available if config folder. If I can obtain the config.js file, I can move forward with addressing the aforementioned issues.

@ajaman190 you ned to rename example file as config.js and move forward. Please refer the readme file for further instructions.

Sure
