Considering that usage of React Native varies across the community, it’s essential to have stakeholders involved in releases. We have defined a set of [roles and responsibilities in supporting a release](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/wiki/Release-Roles-and-Responsibilities). + +### Release candidate signal + +Another issue with releases is getting a good signal that a release will not suffer from build regressions. This can be addressed with growing investment in testing build variants, etc. but signal from adoption will continue to be useful for some time. + +In the 0.67 release we piloted a “Release Tester” program where React Native developers working on Open Source apps [commit to testing release candidates](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/wiki/Release-Roles-and-Responsibilities#release-tester-responsibilities) on their apps. Prior, there was no formal expectation that the community will test out release candidates to raise any potential issues. This program helps us get faster signal to ensure a level of stability of the release. + +Open source React Native apps are particularly useful due to availability of source code to help debug any regressions. With this program in place, a release tester surfaced a regression in 0.67 and we were able to resolve it without thrashing the larger community with a faulty release. + +## Interested in helping React Native stabilise new releases? + +A great way to help us catch regressions is to integrate the React Native pre-release version [`react-native@next`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native) or [`react-native@nightly`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native) to your CI. For any regressions, you can [file a release issue](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/new?assignees=&labels=Needs%3A+Triage+%3Amag%3A%2CType%3A+Upgrade+Issue&template=upgrade-regression-form.yml) and notify the appropriate discussion. + +If your app or company is interested in joining the “Release Tester” program, head to the dedicated section at the bottom of the [Release Roles and Responsibilities wiki](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/wiki/Release-Roles-and-Responsibilities#release-tester-responsibilities) to learn more. + +Lastly any help on trying our release candidates or helping unblock release issues is much appreciated!
