0.72.0-RC.6

⭐️ Golden Release Candidate ⭐️

This RC contains:

• Fix on Copy/Paste menu on android dfc64d5
• Fix styling on text nodes 73f4a78
• Fix for Xcode 15 8ed2cfd
• Fix for some Android border issues 2d15f50 0817eaa
• Fixes for the New Architecture: 2760042 and 0da7e06

Help us ensure that 0.72.0 will be as stable as possible by testing this version! Let us know how it went by posting a comment in the working group discussion - and please specify which system you tried it on (ex. macos, windows).

Bonus points: It would be even better if you could swap things around: instead of using a fresh new app, use a more complex one - or use a different library that is already leveraging the new architecture!

How To Test

You can generate a new project with the standard command:

npx react-native@latest init RN0720RC6 --version 0.72.0-rc.6
