5.x to 6.x Migration Guide

Reference for migrating the Link React Native SDK from 5.x to 6.x

React Native Link SDK versions prior to 7.1.1 (released October 2021) will no longer work with the Plaid API as of November 1, 2022. If you are using a version of the React Native Link SDK earlier than 7.1.1, you must upgrade to version 7.1.1 or later before November 1, 2022.

(Optionally) Use the usePlaidEmitter Hook

In order to get onEvent callbacks you may now use the usePlaidEmitter Hook.
