If you have an existing app based on an earlier version of React Native, you will have to upgrade it first. See [Upgrading to new React Native Versions](/docs/upgrading) for how to do this. Make especially sure that all changes to `android/app/build.gradle` have been applied, as detailed by the [React Native upgrade helper](https://react-native-community.github.io/upgrade-helper/?from=0.59.0). After upgrading the app, make sure everything works before trying to switch to Hermes.

> Each Hermes release is aimed at a specific RN version. The rule of thumb is to always follow [Hermes releases](https://github.com/facebook/hermes/releases) strictly. Version mismatch can result in instant crash of your apps in the worst case scenario.
