I have an React Native application that was created without using Expo. So, I have to manually manage a bunch of stuff. Not my choice.
I noticed that the package.json has a version field. However, as far as I understand, if I want to deploy my app to the app stores, I have to set the new versions in Android Studio and Xcode.
So, what's the point of the version number in package.json? Is it just like leaving yourself a note? Does it matter if you even use it?
