react-doctor/rn-no-legacy-expo-packages

Migrate to the recommended replacement package — legacy Expo packages are no longer maintained

• Category: React Native
• Severity: warn
• Source: oxlint-plugin-react-doctor
• Framework: react-native
• Enabled when: framework=react-native and capabilities=react-native

Validation prompt

Use this to decide whether a fired diagnostic is real or a false positive.

Verify the import source is expo-av (or any subpath like expo-av/Audio) or expo-permissions (or any subpath). Both are deprecated and removed in newer Expo SDKs. Not really a false positive on a maintained Expo project — pinning to an older SDK only buys time.

Fix prompt

Use this once validation confirms the diagnostic is real.

Replace expo-av with expo-audio for audio playback/recording and expo-video for video; both expose cleaner hook-based APIs. Replace expo-permissions by calling each module's own request method (Camera.requestCameraPermissionsAsync(), Notifications.requestPermissionsAsync(), etc.). See https://docs.expo.dev/versions/latest/sdk/audio/

Related rules

More React Native rules from the rules reference:

• react-doctor/rn-no-legacy-shadow-styles: Use `boxShadow` for cross-platform shadows on the new architecture instead of platform-specific shadow properties
• react-doctor/rn-no-non-native-navigator: Use `@react-navigation/native-stack` (or `native-tabs` in v7+) for platform-native transitions and gestures
• react-doctor/rn-no-panresponder: Replace PanResponder with react-native-gesture-handler's Gesture.Pan(), which runs gesture math on the native UI thread instead of the JS thread.
• react-doctor/rn-no-raw-text: Wrap text in a `<Text>` component: `<Text>{value}</Text>` — raw strings outside `<Text>` crash on React Native
• react-doctor/rn-no-renderitem-key: Remove the no-op `key` from the JSX row that renderItem returns and set `keyExtractor` (or `item.key`) on the list instead.
