I was having this issue when loading a cached redux state. If I just load the cached state, I'd run into errors for new app version with an updated state structure.
It was already mentioned, that lodash offers the merge
function, which I used:
const currentInitialState = configureState().getState();
const mergedState = _.merge({}, currentInitialState, cachedState);
const store = configureState(mergedState);
