Hi @smasseroni :wave:

The official docs recommend this command to upgrade the installed yarn version:

yarn set version stable

I tested it here, first printing the yarn version, then running yarn set version stable and then printing the version again: Bitrise - Mobile Continuous Integration and Delivery - iOS & Android Build Automation

And it seems to do the job:
