New React Native project with old version of react native

There is a new parameter in react-native init that allows just this. Try:

react-native init --version="react-native@0.36.0" MyNewApp

Here my source. I have successfully tested it with react-native-cli 2.0.1.

ios xcode reactjs react-native

rninit is a replacement for react-native init that allows you to specify a particular version of react-native to use.

Install rninit globally:

npm install -g rninit

Specify which version of react-native to use:

rninit init [Project Name] --source react-native@0.14.2

Thanks to @vanson-wing-leung for pointing me to rninit

ios xcode reactjs react-native

Use the --version flag.

react-native init blank --version react-native@0.14.2
