Ignite: How to upgrade React-Native for a project setup with Ignite?

[Rah1x]

Ive setup my project via igniteCLI, however I need to upgrade React Native.. Is there a safe way to do that?
Can I just normally upgrade it via npm?

I can see 2 different upgrade guides here:
https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/upgrading.html

Which one to follow? Was Ignite an ejected implementation?

Thanks a lot

You can try react-native-git-upgrade I have used it twice with newly ignited project and worked like a chrarm, except few conflicts.

Yeah, upgrading RN just isn't easy, whether you're using Ignite or not. It's on our list of pain points, but we haven't come up with any viable solutions yet.

should this not be kept open if there isn't a good way or documentation of upgrading from ignite 1.x to ignite-cli?

The question is how to upgrade React Native, not Ignite itself (I believe we still have another issue on that subject that is still open).
