V4 Migration Guide is pretty unclear

[anisurrahman072]

I'm using Agora for last 2 years. All the code was working pretty well with version v3 (^3.7.0). Recently started the migration to v4 (^4.3.0-build.1). Found a migration guide. (Link)

I found that the MIGRATION guide of above is pretty unclear. Just want to share 1 example below 👇

In V3 I used this code & it was working pretty well 👇

import { RtcLocalView, VideoRenderMode } from 'react-native-agora'

return (
        <RtcLocalView.SurfaceView
        renderMode={VideoRenderMode.Hidden}
        zOrderMediaOverlay={false}
        zOrderOnTop={false}
        style={styles.rtcViewStyle}
    />
);

When I converted the version to v4 from package.json file, I see that all of these RtcLocalView, VideoRenderMode are stale. Ok great, but why they were not mentioned in the "Migration Guide" ?

This waste my time to identify, "Hey, what happened! Migration guide didn't specify it 😵‍💫 ".

My concern, did I miss any new Migration guide or some thing like that ? Or If I'm Ok, then what are the new code in V4 instead of above mentioned functions of V3 ?

@LichKing-2234 would you help here please ? We are a paid customer for last 2 years.

I paste this link in the ISSUE description already & this migration guide has very limited info !!!

Another example that was not defined in the migration guide 👇

There is no explanation of how can we do this for V4 ? As I see the functions here are deprecated in V4 !

Hi @LichKing-2234, due to lack of proper migration guide, it really wasting dev times. Like I found all these changes in V4 by reading the huge big documentation deeply. It would be better if these changes were in Migration Guide 🐥

Only some of them were mentioned but max of them were not mentioned in the Migration Guide.
