The best part of building in open source is real devs coming back with "this works" 🥹
rn-build-doctor is helping people get past React Native and Expo build failures, and the feedback keeps me going.

0.1.7 of rn-build-doctor is out!!
I spent the weekend reading GitHub issues from the week after Expo SDK 58 and RN 0.88, and reproduced each failure on a real AGP 9.2.1 build before changing anything.
Library AAR metadata failures no longer tell you to raise your app's compileSdk. It names the npm package actually causing it.
AGP 9 dependencies with no version now get the real explanation and a one-line fix I verified on the broken build.
Xcode 27's deployment target error for old pods is finally caught, with the pod name and the Podfile workaround.
Every fix in this release started as someone's worst build day.

A week ago I shipped a small tool for something that kept eating my evenings: scrolling through React Native build logs to find the one line that actually broke.
rn-build-doctor crossed 250+ downloads in its first week.
