This pull request corrects inconsistencies in version formatting across the documentation.
It also fixes issues introduced earlier because changes were applied without proper testing or validation.
Summary
Previous updates mixed exact semantic versions (e.g.,
0.73.0,0.82.0) with caret-prefixed versions (e.g.,^0.73.0).After verifying the actual behavior of the React Native CLI, this PR confirms:
👉 The only version that requires a caret prefix is
^0.75.0.This correction ensures users can reliably follow setup instructions.
Changes
docs/getting-started.mdto use exact versions except where^0.75.0is required.website/versioned_docs/version-0.82/getting-started.mdto use explicit versions, removing unnecessary caret prefixes.react-native-windowsversion examples to use explicit semantic versions.Conclusion
