  Migration instructions

  1. Create a new file MainApplication.java in the same folder as MainActivity.java
  2. Update it to match - https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/0.29-stable/local-cli/generator-android/templates/package/MainApplication.java and move your customisations from MainActivity.java to this file
  3. Update MainActivity.java to match - https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/0.29-stable/local-cli/generator-android/templates/package/MainActivity.java
