Create React Native apps that run on iOS, Android, and web

create-react-native-app is a scaffolding CLI for bootstrapping React Native projects that target iOS, Android, and web. It is officially deprecated — the README says so in large text and redirects you to create-expo-app instead. There is no reason to use this.

The migration path is clearly documented with exact commands for npm, bun, pnpm, and yarn. The deprecation notice is upfront rather than buried, which saves people time.

This repo is dead. Last push was July 2024 and the README opens with a deprecation warning. The actual codebase is a thin wrapper with almost nothing in src/. Anyone landing here via a Google search or old tutorial will be pointed at the wrong tool. There is nothing to adopt here.
