How to do "expo update/upgrade" now that global cli is going away?

Expo SDK
2

Hi @numerator

For now, you can do it like this:

  • Install the new version of the Expo package:
    npm install expo@^49.0.0 or yarn add expo@^49.0.0
  • Upgrade all dependencies to match SDK 49:
    npx expo install --fix

But see the Expo SDK 49 release blog post for more details. Links to previous SDK release blog posts are here: Upgrade Expo SDK - Expo Documentation

Also, apparently the Expo team are working on an improvement to npx expo install --fix to also upgrade the expo package:
