This feature release of React Native includes many milestone changes for the platform. Please refer to the [blog post](https://facebook.github.io/react-native/blog/2019/07/03/version-60) 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](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/25349) 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](https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-releases/issues/130).
