Description

After the upgrade to react native 0.43 from 0.42 our app crashes hard on the display of animated gifs.

Reproduction Steps and Sample Code

In http://facebook.github.io/react-native/releases/0.43/docs/image.html#gif-and-webp-support-on-android you describe how to use animated gifs with react native. Basically it's adding one line to android/app/build.gradle:

compile 'com.facebook.fresco:animated-gif:0.11.0'

and then just using the Image tag.

As a repro we did that on top of hello world sample:

• https://github.com/forki/GifRepro <- broken with RN 0.43
• https://github.com/forki/GifRepro/tree/r42 <- working with RN 0.42

For repro:

1. Clone the project
2. Check out a branch
3. run npm install
4. open android emulator
5. run react-native run-android
