Description

Update to 0.56.0-rc.2 resulted in error shown below. I believe it is related to usage of Animated.Image or Animated.createAnimatedComponent that wraps something containing <Image />

UPDATE: Likely related to something being undefined here? https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/Libraries/Animated/src/createAnimatedComponent.js#L39

Reproducible Demo

Initiate new native project

react-native init --version 0.56.0-rc.2 TestApp

Use any Animated.Image component inside App.js for example:

/**
 * Sample React Native App
 * https://github.com/facebook/react-native
 *
 * @format
 * @flow
 */

import React, {Component} from 'react';
import {Platform, StyleSheet, Text, View, Animated} from 'react-native';

const instructions = Platform.select({
  ios: 'Press Cmd+R to reload,\n' + 'Cmd+D or shake for dev menu',
  android:
    'Double tap R on your keyboard to reload,\n' +
    'Shake or press menu button for dev menu',
});

type Props = {};
export default class App extends Component<Props> {
  render() {
    return (
      <View style={styles.container}>
        <Animated.Image />
        <Text style={styles.welcome}>Welcome to React Native!</Text>
        <Text style={styles.instructions}>To get started, edit App.js</Text>
        <Text style={styles.instructions}>{instructions}</Text>
      </View>
    );
  }
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    justifyContent: 'center',
    alignItems: 'center',
    backgroundColor: '#F5FCFF',
  },
  welcome: {
    fontSize: 20,
    textAlign: 'center',
    margin: 10,
  },
  instructions: {
    textAlign: 'center',
    color: '#333333',
