Fixes iOS development builds across Expo SDK versions by linking the Clerk iOS SDK through React Native's Swift Package Manager podspec support. This raises the minimum supported React Native version to 0.75, where that podspec SPM support is available; `@clerk/expo` already supports Expo SDK 53 and newer, and Expo SDK 53 ships with React Native 0.79.

P1 Badge Keep RN 0.73/0.74 pod installs working

For apps still on React Native 0.73/0.74 (which satisfied @clerk/expo's previous peer range and can receive this patch via a caret range), spm_dependency is not defined by RN's CocoaPods scripts, so this raise makes every iOS pod install fail even though those apps built with the old Xcode-project injection path. Because this is being released as a patch, please keep a fallback for those RN versions or avoid shipping this path to them.

Our supported expo range is >=53, so supporting 0.73 and 0.74 is already a mismatch. Expo 53 contains React Native 0.79

"@clerk/expo": minor

Fixes iOS development builds across Expo SDK versions by linking the Clerk iOS SDK through React Native's Swift Package Manager podspec support. This raises the minimum supported React Native version to 0.75, where that podspec SPM support is available; `@clerk/expo` already supports Expo SDK 53 and newer, and Expo SDK 53 ships with React Native 0.79.

P1 Badge Keep RN 0.73/0.74 pod installs working
For apps still on React Native 0.73/0.74 (which satisfied @clerk/expo's previous peer range and can receive this patch via a caret range), spm_dependency is not defined by RN's CocoaPods scripts, so this raise makes every iOS pod install fail even though those apps built with the old Xcode-project injection path. Because this is being released as a patch, please keep a fallback for those RN versions or avoid shipping this path to them.

Our supported expo range is >=53, so supporting 0.73 and 0.74 is already a mismatch. Expo 53 contains React Native 0.79

Fixes iOS development builds across Expo SDK versions by linking the Clerk iOS SDK through React Native's Swift Package Manager podspec support. This raises the minimum supported React Native version to 0.75, where that podspec SPM support is available; `@clerk/expo` already supports Expo SDK 53 and newer, and Expo SDK 53 ships with React Native 0.79.

P1 Badge Keep RN 0.73/0.74 pod installs working
For apps still on React Native 0.73/0.74 (which satisfied @clerk/expo's previous peer range and can receive this patch via a caret range), spm_dependency is not defined by RN's CocoaPods scripts, so this raise makes every iOS pod install fail even though those apps built with the old Xcode-project injection path. Because this is being released as a patch, please keep a fallback for those RN versions or avoid shipping this path to them.

Fixes iOS development builds across Expo SDK versions by linking the Clerk iOS SDK through React Native's Swift Package Manager podspec support. This raises the minimum supported React Native version to 0.75, where that podspec SPM support is available; `@clerk/expo` already supports Expo SDK 53 and newer, and Expo SDK 53 ships with React Native 0.79.

P1 Badge Keep RN 0.73/0.74 pod installs working
For apps still on React Native 0.73/0.74 (which satisfied @clerk/expo's previous peer range and can receive this patch via a caret range), spm_dependency is not defined by RN's CocoaPods scripts, so this raise makes every iOS pod install fail even though those apps built with the old Xcode-project injection path. Because this is being released as a patch, please keep a fallback for those RN versions or avoid shipping this path to them.

Our supported expo range is >=53, so supporting 0.73 and 0.74 is already a mismatch. Expo 53 contains React Native 0.79

P1 Badge Keep RN 0.73/0.74 pod installs working
For apps still on React Native 0.73/0.74 (which satisfied @clerk/expo's previous peer range and can receive this patch via a caret range), spm_dependency is not defined by RN's CocoaPods scripts, so this raise makes every iOS pod install fail even though those apps built with the old Xcode-project injection path. Because this is being released as a patch, please keep a fallback for those RN versions or avoid shipping this path to them.
